I love this verse. But almost as much as I love what it says, I love what it does not say. It does not say, that if we do not fulfill the lust of the flesh, then we will be walking in the Spirit. It just doesn't work like that. That is not a kingdom principle. Flesh-less, does not ensure Spirit-full. However, Spirit-full enables flesh-less.
"God can't fill a dirty vessel" Oh really? Well, I have news for you. God has no other type of vessel to fill. If we could get Holy on our own, then we would not need the Holy Spirit.
If we keep the commandments, then we have the love of God, right? Wrong. But if we love God, then we will keep the commandments!
But you can't love God and not be holy.
We can preach about sin from now till doomsday. Being sinless is the fruit of knowing God and not the root. Big difference.
Wrath, smath....that's the wrong path. It is the goodness of God that leads a man to repentance!
Get Spirit = Get Holy
It's not Get Holy = Get Spirit
Spread the Word!
