Paul says there is now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. And so we need to be empowered to live according to the spirit and the spirit is what's going to guide and direct us. It will be impossible to survive spiritually without the guiding and directing help of the spirit.
How does being called to be a Saint change your thoughts and behaviors? Dr. Joshua Matson examines how Jewish Christians and non-Jewish Christians learn to become one people in Jesus and explores grace, works, and mercy.
