Walking in the Spirit
Lord God Almighty came down to save from sin and (glory be to God), we are saved from the consequences of sin, in that, no longer slaves to sin but have been purxhased with a price, precious price, the Blood of Jesus (His sacrifice paid for our sin once and for all).
Romans 6:1-2, what shall we say then? Shall continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live any longer in it? Death there means without life, how can we that are dead to sin live in it? It is not possible because we've been translated from darkness into marvelous light (read: 1Peter 2:9-10). So, we walk in the light as our Father is in the light. Walking in the Spirit is the best way to get a best of the Christian life. What does this tell you, Romans 8:1-4 AMP, "Therefore there is now no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who are in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior]. For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For what the Law could not do [that is, overcome sin and remove its penalty, its power] being weakened by the flesh [man’s nature without the Holy Spirit], God did: He sent His own Son in the likeness of sinful man as an offering for sin. And He condemned sin in the flesh [subdued it and overcame it in the person of His own Son], so that the [righteous and just] requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who do not live our lives in the ways of the flesh [guided by worldliness and our sinful nature], but [live our lives] in the ways of the Spirit [guided by His power]."
