These verses emphasizes that accepting Jesus as Savior brings the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which empowers believers to live a fulfilling and spiritually enriched life aligned with God’s will, transcending the limitations of the flesh which leads to death. The analogy of slavery is used to illustrate the bondage and fear associated with living by the flesh, a concept familiar to the audience of Ephesus, where slavery was prevalent. In contrast, living by the Spirit grants freedom and life, signifying that believers are not enslaved to sin but are children and heirs of God’s kingdom. The Holy Spirit continually reassures believers of their identity as God’s children, even when they falter, affirming their eternal inheritance and relationship with God.

God didn’t design marriage to be depressing and unfulfilling. However, because marriage is between two imperfect people, marriage can easily become unfun and difficult.

Have you been praying for success in business but it seems like your prayers are not being answered? If so and you're married, then check the state of your marriage.

This means that there is a direct connection between the success of your marriage and your business success. 

As parents, we have to be mindful not to leave a vision for our children. God has called us to leave an inheritance for them, but not a vision.

This passage describes that the mind is a crucial spiritual battleground, where negative thoughts are produced by your sin nature and godly thoughts are guided by the Holy Spirit. The outcome of this struggle determines who controls your actions and spiritual direction. Believers can achieve victory by allowing the Holy Spirit to fill their minds, while unbelievers cannot succeed in this battle unless they are born again. The sin nature generates feelings of lack and worry, leading you to act against God’s will. In contrast, the Holy Spirit brings peace and fulfillment. The passage emphasizes the importance of choosing to follow God and warns that you must guard your mind against Satan's corruption so you can live a life that pleases God.

Married couples hate to admit this, but it happens often and to many marriages. There are times when they don’t love each other. Why is this the case? Let's explore this idea by first defining love from the Bible’s perspective so that we can learn how to get back in love with our spouse.

In marriage, each spouse wants to be right. However, to create a successful marriage, we have to stop fighting for our right to be right. The goal of marriage is not to win an argument but to love each other; therefore, sometimes you need to intentionally lose an argument with your spouse.

Unfortunately, most people (secular and Christian) place their businesses before their spouses because they are driven to succeed in their work. However, the problem is that if your spouse is unfulfilled, God is not blessing your business, which means that your business success is not coming from God.
