What is meant by walking in the Spirit?


A few months ago, I have encountered this verse in Galatians 5:16 which says, “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.” Then, earlier today, I remembered it and decided to write an article about it for this blog. So, I asked the LORD JESUS what is the meaning of walking in the Spirit. His reply was this, “It means, you live according to My laws and commands, in other words, you obey all my commands because I am the Spirit that gives life and blessings like hope, peace, sound mind, good health, and eternal life when you obey Me.” He added that we should abide in Him as He said in John 15:4 this, “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.”

The LORD JESUS also told me that we should imitate Him and follow His steps, attitude, and character as 1 John 2:6 reminds us with this, “the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.” So, we should walk in love as JESUS did. He loved us so much that He died as a propitiation for our sins. Also, for us to be saved and inherit the kingdom of heaven and live eternally there with Him. Let us consider this Bible verse found in Ephesians 5:2 which says, “and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.” Therefore, let us walk in love as the LORD JESUS commanded us to love Him first and our neighbors as ourselves as found in Matthew 22:37-39.

However, you might ask how can we show our love for the LORD JESUS and our neighbors? The answer is simple. We should live according to JESUS' purpose for creating us. He created us to glorify Him (Isaiah 43:7). Glorifying Him should be our purpose. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, glory means heavenly happiness. Therefore we should prioritize the LORD JESUS' happiness. If we do that, we are also, prioritizing our neighbors' happiness. It's like hitting two birds with one stone. Now, what makes the LORD JESUS' happy? He is happy when we love and obey Him. Thus, it is vital to read the Bible so that we will know the LORD JESUS' commands and so we can obey it.

If you are not a believer and follower of JESUS yet, please pray this sinner's prayer so you can establish a relationship with Him and fulfill your purpose of glorifying Him:
  • LORD JESUS, I love You. I believe that You love me too by dying on the cross and rising again on the third day to save me from sin. I want to be close to You, LORD and obey You. Please forgive me from all sins and cleanse me from all my unrighteousness. I repented my sins. Please come into my heart and be my LORD and SAVIOR. Thank You, LORD. Amen.
If you have prayed that sinner's prayer sincerely, please attend church services in a Born-again Christian Pentecostal or Baptist church and be baptized. Also, acquire a Bible and read it day and night and have fellowship with good and loving Christians. If you are a Christian already, keep the faith and continue loving and obeying the LORD. Don't forget that walking in the Spirit means loving and obeying the LORD JESUS. I love You, thank You for taking the time reading this article. May Our Great GOD JESUS CHRIST bless you with good health, peace of mind, and happiness. And, may He give you a humble, teachable, and obedient heart. God bless to your Christian journey. To the LORD JESUS, thank You LORD for guiding me as I write this piece. May You be glorified and honored highly by this piece. I love You.

Is JESUS our GOD?

Have you ever asked yourself who JESUS is? And, have you ever wondered if He is our GOD?  If your answer is yes, then this article is for you. By the way, I used to believe that the LORD JESUS is just the Son of GOD and not GOD Himself. But, after attending some church services in a Christian Pentecostal church in college, I started to question who the real GOD is and what is His Name. Fortunately, last night that question was answered and revealed to me by the LORD JESUS. As I was reading an article about baby JESUS on the Bible app for kids which is called Superbook, I ran across a verse found in 1 Corinthians 12:3 which says tbis, "So I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God will curse JESUS, and no one can say JESUS is LORD, except by the HOLY SPIRIT." We can learn from this Bible verse that JESUS is our One and Only True Living GOD. And, no one can confess that He is GOD except when the person is guided by the Holy Spirit. On the other han...

What is JESUS’ will for us?

I spent my life looking for answers on what is JESUS’ will for me and what should I do with my life. I yearn for a happy, content and fulfilled life and I have this deep longing inside me for a better purpose. Until one night, while I was praying JESUS revealed to me His will. He told me that His will is to save us because He loves us so much. Check this verse in  1 Timothy 2:3-4 which say, “This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” Since JESUS’ ultimate will is to save us, He wants us to receive His gift of salvation. We first have to believe that He died on the cross to save us from hell and sin. We should as well make a firm decision to turn away from sin and obey Him. Then we should establish a loving and faithful relationship with Him above others. Take note of this verse in Matthew 22:37-38 which say, “ And he said to him,   “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with a...
