Living by the Spirit

I am alive in my spirit, I do not live according to the ways of the world.

"So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." (Galatians 5:16)

• Cosmos: Refers to worldly ways and temporary pleasures.

Worldly Influence

• Worldly Influence:

• People conditioned to worldly ways feel comfortable with sin, lacking a guilty conscience.

• They are slaves to the spirit of the world, with desires aligned with worldly pursuits.

• Their thoughts and actions are influenced by a demonic entity that justifies their worldliness.

• This entity uses their imagination to lead them astray, so that he can steal their destiny.

- "They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts." (Ephesians 4:18)

Guilty Conscience

• Guilty Conscience:

• Individuals differ from those with a guilty conscience who strive to leave the world behind.

• People deeply involved in the world can be wicked.

• God recognizes those making efforts to improve, even if they occasionally slip.

• The worldly only see wickedness when someone falls back.

• Those completely dead to the world no longer crave worldly things.

• "But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light." (Ephesians 5:13-14)
