Going deeper...to go further

Daily Bible reading strengthens our relationship with God, nourishes our spirits and equips us to live a fruitful, effective life for Him.

This month we're looking at what it means to live a consecrated life that is set apart for God—marked by holiness, surrender, obedience, worship and love. You'll find questions and things to reflect on as you read the verses below. As we read the Word it’s important that we apply what we read and pray it out over our lives. One of the way you can do this is by using the acronym SOAP. To find out more about SOAP watch this video.

Below you’ll see what we’re reading today. To go forward or back a day in our reading plan use the 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons.

WEEK TWO: Purity of Heart and Mind
Walking by the Spirit

Focus: Fruit of the Spirit vs. fleshly desires.
Reflection: Which fruit do I most need God to grow in me?

Galatians 5:16-26

Life in the Spirit16So I say, walk in the ways the Spirit leads you, and you will not gratify what your self-life desires!17For that self-life desires what opposes the Spirit and the Spirit leads you in ways that involve denying that self-life. These are two contradictory ways. This means that you are not free to do whatever you wish.18But if you choose to be led by the Spirit you will not live under the bondage of the religious law.19-21This self-life will manifest itself in such works as these: adultery, sex outside of marriage, other forms of immorality and lust, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, divisions, jealousy and outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissentions to authority, party factions, envy, murder, drunkenness, orgies and other such things. As I have warned you before, those who live in such ways will not inherit God's Kingdom.22-23However, the fruit the Spirit produces in you is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. There is no law against such things!24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed to the cross their passions and desires that contradict the Spirit!25So if we live by the Spirit, let us keep ourselves in line with what the Spirit desires.26Let us not become conceited, neither provoking nor envying one another.
