What Does ‘Walking in the Spirit’ Mean?

Estimated reading time: 7 minutes

Galatians 5:16 says: ‘Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.’

Most sermons treat this as a disposition, an attitude, or simply a general orientation toward God. But the verse is operational. It assumes a conflict is already happening. It means that two kingdoms are already competing for the same person.

Key Takeaways

Galatians 5:16 emphasizes actively choosing to walk in the Spirit amid a conflict between flesh and spirit.
The ‘flesh’ represents a spiritual entity influenced by Satan, not just the physical body.
Walking in the Spirit requires faith, personal scripture engagement, spiritual fruit production, and endurance in truth.
Success in walking in the Spirit reveals spiritual maturity, which requires continuous obedience, not a one-time event.
Believers should reflect on their walk in the Spirit and consider the truth of their faith, as outlined in the article.

Final Salvation: Christians must ‘Run the ‘Race’

God's requirement for Christians to RUN their spiritual RACE - Hebrews 12:1-2

God has established the requirement for every Christian to “Run the Race” that has been established for them:

“…let us [meaning every Christian] RUN WITH PATIENCE THE RACE that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…”  (Hebrews 12:1-2)

Once modern-day (unsaved) individuals hear the Gospel message—those who believe and then accept the ‘Good News’ by confessing Jesus Christ with their mouth, the Bible says that such people are ‘Saved’ from spending eternity in Hell (Rom 10:9-10).

However, such people are yet to run the race God has established for every Christian to embark upon and hopefully finish.

Estimated reading time: 9 minutes

Key Takeaways

God requires every Christian to ‘Run the Race’ towards Final Salvation despite challenges posed by the Devil.
Belief in the Gospel saves individuals initially, but doesn’t guarantee they will run their spiritual race effectively.
Christians must acquire spiritual items like righteousness, the Gospel message, and support from Jesus to succeed in their race.
Each Christian must grow spiritually and resist temptations to avoid hindrances in their journey.
Maturity in faith is essential. New believers, or ‘babies in Christ’ cannot start running the race until they grow in understanding.

The Dietary Needs of Our ‘Inner Man’

Part 1 of the Spirit, Soul and the Body series examined the spiritual ‘organs’ God has provided to us within our “Inner Man“. This article examines how God has stated in scripture what the dietary needs of Our Inner Man represent.

Estimated reading time: 9 minutes

All living creatures on Earth that God has made require food to not only grow into maturity, but to prevent from dying. This is because any shortage of food leads to starvation and death. The same goes for the human soul, which needs an appropriate spiritual diet for our Inner Man to grow and to thrive.

Key Takeaways

This article examines the dietary needs of our Inner Man and highlights its importance for spiritual growth.
Christians must regularly ‘feed’ their Inner Man on God’s word to prevent spiritual starvation.
The dietary needs vary by maturity stages: ‘Babes,’ ‘Little Children,’ and ‘Strong Young Men’ require different spiritual nourishment.
Feeding the Inner Man correctly protects against spiritual dangers and promotes growth in faith.
The article encourages Christians to assess their current spiritual diet and consider their growth progression.

“… but though OUR OUTWARD [physical] MAN perish [through ageing], yet THE INWARD [spiritual]  MAN is renewed day by day [by feeding upon God's words].”  (2 Cor 4:16)

“That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in THE INNER MAN;”  (Eph 3:16)

As such systems of education are found in many countries, they are used to illustrate the Biblical truth about Salvation and how God expects His people to progress and mature from beginning (Initial Salvation) to the end (Final Salvation).
