Abstain - Keep Away - Walk In the Light...

Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.

I Peter 2:11 NIV

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.

So I advise you to live according to your new life in the Holy Spirit. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves. The old sinful nature loves to do evil, which is just opposite from what the Holy Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are opposite from what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, and your choices are never free from this conflict.

Galatians 5:16,17 NLT

Weekly Meditation

Have Faith!

Just as Abraham "believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness"

Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying,

"In you shall all the nations be blessed."

So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

Galatians 3:6-10 ESV
