What does the Bible say about living according to the Spirit?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible teaches that living according to the Spirit leads to life and peace, while living according to the flesh leads to death.
In Romans 8:12-17, Paul contrasts living according to the flesh with living according to the Spirit. Those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on spiritual things, leading to true life and peace. Conversely, the mind that is set on the flesh ultimately results in death, as it is hostile to God and cannot please Him. This passage emphasizes that a believer, who has received the Spirit of God, must not live in accordance with fleshly desires but rather seek to walk according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who brings about spiritual life and righteousness.
