The Life Of A Disciple: Filled and Led by the Spirit (Part 1)

In The Life of a Disciple: Spirit Lead, we’re reminded that following Jesus means allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us above the cravings of our flesh. Galatians 5 teaches that there’s a daily battle within between the Spirit and our sinful nature—but Christ already handled sin for us at the cross so we could walk in freedom and purpose. When we’re led by the Spirit, our lives produce good fruit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. What’s in you will always come out, and only a life rooted in Christ can bear the fruit of the Spirit. This is where the cross comes in: Jesus nailed our sinful desires to it so we could live Spirit-led, purpose-filled lives that reflect Him in everything we do.
