Read the Scripture below from Galatians 5. Which list is your life in? Is the way you respond to issues and problems and disagreements according to the Flesh or the Spirit? When someone does something you don't agree with, how do you respond? Do you respond in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control? Or do you respond with enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalry, dissension, and division? Is your life governed by works of the Flesh or are you walking in the Spirit?
16But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. (Galatians 5:16-26)
