Only in Spirit

 

Galatians 2:20 )

20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.

 So the life I now live in the body, I live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

 

Am I alive crucified with Christ ... Who gave Himself for me?

Then I don’t live but died to self and it is Christ living through me.

The life I live now in the flesh ... is a foretaste of Eternity

for others to see Christ in me and that Hope is willingly.

 

Galatians 5:22-23 

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 

23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

 

 “If we live by The Spirit” ... what should we expect?

Is it not the fruit thereof and not the works of sight?

Love, joy and long-suffering are always in its path.

Kindness, goodness, and faithfulness are in its daily plight.

 

Gentleness and self-control ... are its daily garment.

Against these, there is no law ... crucified in Christ.

Passions and desires ... will be directed freely

by The Lord, Himself and all would be just right.
