Again, these are not human good works we do. They are prompted,
guided, and influenced by God’s Holy Spirit. This is why they are called
‘the fruit of the SPIRIT.’ They are descriptive of what the Spirit does in
us, not what we do for God. So, they are not just a ‘checklist’ for us to
determine how well we are living.
Our job is to ask the Holy Spirit to work in us, and then we submit to
the good fruit that he is working into us. As ‘The Gospel Life Coach,’
I see this as a gospel-led life.
The gospel is said to be ‘the power of God,’ so we have God’s presence
and power in us.
Romans Shows 5 Ways Our Life Should be Spirit-Guided:
(1) Live in the Spirit.
(2) Set our minds on things of the Spirit.
(3) Let the Spirit help deny our human, self-unction.
(4) This then allows us to let the Spirit lead us more.
(5) We then know God more as Father, by the Spirit.
