Think!

~ What does it mean to live by the Spirit?

~ How does living by the Spirit prevent the gratification of sinful desires?

~ If living by the Sin Nature produces sin in our lives, according to Galatians 5:22-23, what results when we live by the Spirit?

We can easily tell Who or what is in control of our lives by examining what is being produced by our lives. If we are experiencing anxiety, fear, bitterness, covetousness, lust, hate, etc., we can be certain our Sin Nature is in control. However, if we are experiencing God's peace, love, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control, we can then be certain God's Spirit is in control!
