Living by the Spirit

Walk by the Spirit—renew your mind, live free from shame, and witness with steady power.

 

Session 7 - Living by the Spirit

This session turns to daily discipleship: living under the Spirit’s guidance rather than the flesh, renewing the mind, walking in holiness and freedom, praying with the Spirit’s help, and being empowered to witness.

Key themes

  •  
    Living by the Spirit is a daily choice to be guided by the Holy Spirit rather than the flesh.
  •  
    The Spirit renews our thoughts and attitudes as we “put on” our new nature in Christ.

  •  
    The Spirit gives power to witness for Christ with boldness and resilience.
