Today, I would like us to look at walking after the Holy Spirit versus walking after the flesh.

A few weeks ago we looked at the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. We saw how a new Christian, a person who has trusted Jesus as their personal Saviour, is born-again by the Spirit of God. The Bible tells us we become a new creature in Christ, 2 Corinthians 5:17:

2Co 5:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

A Christian has a choice: to walk after the Holy Spirit that lives inside of them, or walk after their sinful body or flesh. We have an old man and a new man.

We can produce the fruits of the Spirit in our life or the fruits of our sinful flesh. We will reap what we sow. If we plant sinful things in our life then we will reap sin and all its consequences. If we plant good spiritual fruit we will reap good things such as love, joy, and peace.

Let’s look at how we should walk as a Christian.
