"Walk in the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh."
Galatians 5:16
"For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is
life and peace."  Romans 8:6

Last week we looked at the walk of a Christian -- our behavior in this
world.  Leaving behind the old, we have put on the new life.  Martyn
Lloyd-Jones says, "A man who knows and believes he is 'risen with Christ'
will inevitably desire to walk in newness of life with Him."  And it is so
as we grow into that mature man in Christ.

I would like to share some Scripture that speak of the attributes and
attitude of the Christian that should be evident as we live this life that
has been so graciously given to us.

Concerning those that are manifested toward the Holy Spirit:

The Christian relies on the Holy Spirit within:
In part Ephesians 5:18 says, "...be filled with the Holy Spirit."  This is
to be controlled by the Holy Spirit.
For Jesus tells us in John 16:13,
"But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes He will guide you into all the
truth..."
And we see in Romans 8:14,
"For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God."

The Christian prays in the Holy Spirit:
"But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith; praying
in the Holy Spirit' keep yourselves in the love of God..."  Jude 20-21

The Christian has a cautious attitude concerning the Holy Spirit, one
born out of God's will:
"Do not quench (suppress or subdue) the [Holy] Spirit."
1 Thessalonians 5:19  The Amplified Bible
And in Ephesians 4:30,
"And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the
day of redemption."

The Christian recognizes and understands that he is being taught by the Holy
Spirit:
"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He
will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to
you."  John 14:26

As the Holy Spirit is so intimately involved in this life that is not our
own, but is Christ's, let us seek to be more sensitive to Him.  So that our
walk in this world will be such that it will draw others to the only Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Therefore, "...Walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have
been called..." Ephesians 4:1

May it be so with each of us.
