Think!

~ The lesson pointed out that the word "live" is a command directed to our wills. What is the significance of this?

~ What is the difference between living according to our feelings or desires and living according to an act of our wills? Which is easier? Why or why not?

~ How does trusting Christ help us to obey Him? Is it possible to Trust Christ and not Obey Him? Why or why not?

God does not give us permission to live by the flesh! He commands us to live only by His Spirit! Knowing this, whenever you find yourself worrying, hating, being jealous, lusting, etc., stop, trust and obey God. Surrender yourself to God's Spirit and be loving, be joyful, be full of peace, be patient, be kind, be good, be faithful, be gentle, be self-controlled, ...by faith in God! Do not wait for or expect a feeling or an experience. Just obey ... and God will provide the ability!
