In the Spirit



~ 6 Aspects of Abiding in God ~

Live in the Spirit (Christian life)  ~  No one has seen God at any time.  If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.  By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit” (1 John 4:12-13).  “…live in the Spirit…” (Galatians 5:25-26).

Walk in the Spirit (Christian walk)  ~  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.  Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another” (Galatians 5:25-26). 

Pray in the Spirit (Christian devotion)  ~  “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints” (Ephesians 6:18). 

Worship in the Spirit (Christian priesthood)  ~  For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh” (Philippians 3:3). 

Love in the Spirit (Christian brotherhood)  ~  “You also learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf, who also declared to us your love in the Spirit” (Colossians 1:7-8). 

Fruit of the Spirit (Christian transformation)  ~  “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.  Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:8-10).  “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.  Against such there is no law” (Galatians 5:22-23).
