The work of God in the conversion of any person does not...

Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Galatians 5: 16.

The work of God in the conversion of any person does not consist in improving the "flesh", the old, sinful nature. The apostle John writes in great detail about regeneration, a new sinless nature, and those who have been born again (cf. ; 1 John 3: 9).

This new nature enables the believer to enjoy fellowship with God. And because the Holy Spirit indwells him, he has a source of power to overcome the influence of the sinful nature that is still in him. Hence the apostle Paul's counsel: "Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh, and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish" (vv. 16.17).

How many young Christians, equipped with all that God's loving hand could grant them for their life's pathway, have made a promising start, but then faltered. If we wonder why, the reason is stated clearly in Paul's letter to Timothy in the Bible: "Having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck" (1 Timothy 1: 19).

Could this be the case with any of our readers, whose conscience is burdened by some guilt in the past, or by taking a wrong course? Only one thing can help: turning again to God from the wrong pathway and confessing all to Him unreservedly.


Today‘s reading: Ezekiel 11: 1 - 25 · Psalms 119: 17 - 32

Are You Feeling Insecure? (3)

The Lordsaid to me, "Now, I have put my words in your mouth." '
Jeremiah 1:9 NIV


The people God calls usually start out feeling ill-equipped and insecure. Indeed, if you jumped and said, No problem, Lord, I can handle that,' He wouldn't call you at all. You say, but I've made so many...More
