What does it mean to live according to the Spirit?
Answered in 1 source
Living according to the Spirit means being guided by the Holy Spirit and displaying the fruits of the Spirit in our lives.
Living according to the Spirit involves a continual reliance on and obedience to the Holy Spirit as the believer navigates through life. As Paul outlines in Galatians 5, this means walking in the Spirit as opposed to fulfilling the desires of the flesh. This dynamic produces a lifestyle reflective of Christ, characterized by love, joy, peace, and other fruits of the Spirit. In Romans 8, we see that Christians are not condemned but empowered to live in accordance with God’s will, serving Him from a place of gratitude and love. Therefore, living in the Spirit is an evidential aspect of being born again and signifies our transformation.
