What does the Bible say about walking in the Spirit?
Answered in 13 sources
The Bible teaches that walking in the Spirit involves living according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, which leads to freedom from the lusts of the flesh.
In Galatians 5:16-18, the Apostle Paul instructs believers to 'walk in the Spirit,' promising that they will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. This walking is a daily, conscious reliance on the Holy Spirit's guidance and influence in our lives. It acknowledges the internal struggle between the spirit and the flesh, where the two are fundamentally opposed to each other. A believer who walks in the Spirit draws on the power and principles imparted by the Holy Spirit, who is present within every true Christian.
