How do we live by the Spirit?

[arunangelo]

With the fall of Adam and Eve human beings separated themselves from God. They, therefore, wrote the laws in a language that lacked the Spirit of God. These laws, therefore, prescribed stoning to death as a punishment for adultery (Deuteronomy 22:22), and permitted divorce (Mark 10:4) and revenge (Leviticus 24:1`9-21). Furthermore, their writings often described God as jealous, revengeful and violent. However, in the fullness of time God took a human form and lived amongst us to ransom us from the law by putting His Spirit in our hearts (Galatians 4: 4-6). Furthermore, by humbling Himself to take a human form and by enduring suffering and death to save us (who betrayed, abused and killed Him) from sin; He showed us that He is faithful, meek, humble, patient, selfless, gentle, all-forgiving, non-condemning, merciful and infinite in love. He also showed us that to love others is to sacrifice our own interest in the process of helping those who hurt and betray us; and commands us to love others the way He loved us (John 15:12).

To live by His Spirit, therefore, is to live a life of unconditional love. We must therefore forgive our transgressors without any limit (Luke 17:4); fight evil with love; sacrifice our own interest in order to help those who hurt and betray us; give to everyone who asks and not demand back what others have taken from us; give our shirt as well if someone takes our coat; offer the other cheek if someone slaps us on one; love our enemies; pray for those persecute us (Matt. 5: 39-40; Luke 6: 27-36; Matt. 5: 44); never to divorce our spouse (Mk 10:11-12, Luke 6:18; Matthew 5: 31-32); and prefer to be wronged or robbed than to wrong others or rob them (1Cor. 6:7).

I'm for that. His ways are immaculate, I can't conceive that their is another way to live other than the way of our Lord. Their is mighty strength in the deeds of the Lord Jesus Christ, while the deeds of satan are weak, easily exposed and open to reproof. The works of satan are founded on nothing, his house of cards will fall very soon.

Laying it out the way you have certainly puts into perspective the doctrine of works. As if there is any possibility of our ever coming near to walking perfectly before God. Without surrendering our will completely, and allowing our Lord to show forth His love through us, we only fool ourselves into thinking we can even come close to what He desires from His children. That's the mark that is set before us.

Good post.

Are you saying that you disagree with his walk in the Spirit thread? Or is this an older type of grudge?
