Works of the Spirit or Works of Flesh,
either way We Must Work… yet we Rest in the Works of the Son.
Faith without works is dead… Faith with Works is alive and producing
Eternal Life.
Body without the Spirit is dead… If one has not the Spirit of Son, then they
are dead, and the Spirit of Eternal Life is not in them.
Flesh with works is dead… produces
corruption.
So anyway you look at it, we must
work. BUT HOW we work and by WHAT we
work …MATTERS.
Galatians 6:10 shows us that if we sow
to the flesh (Gal 5:16-21) we reap or produce the flesh which is
corruption. But if sow to the Spirit, we
will of the Spirit reap or produce of the Spirit which is Eternal Life… Fruit
of the Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Faith, Meekness,
Temperance
Gal 5:22-23.
So how to SOW to the Spirit is By Faith Working. Works of the Spirit ARE Works
of Faith.
If our Works are of the Spirit, then
we Reap Eternal Life.
If our Works are of the Flesh, then we
Reap Corruption.
If we by the Spirit sow into the
Spirit, we will reap of that Spirit the Fruit of the Spirit.
If we by the Flesh sow into the Flesh,
we will reap of that Flesh the Fruit of the flesh.
So what are you Producing? What is your life giving back to you? This answer will reveal to you what you are
sowing.
If you are sowing RIGHTEOUSNESS
through FAITH by GRACE into the hearts of others and yourself, then you Will
produce PEACE and the Life of Jesus Christ with all His benefits of that life.
Galatians 5:22-23
Likewise, yet in the opposite, if you
are sowing carnal thinking, and behavior to others and yourself, then you Will
produce corruption, destruction, decay, and the benefits of corruption.
Galatians 5:16-21
Read Galatians 5:16-26 for the effects
of the fruit of the Spirit, and the flesh.
So which do you see being produced in your life? You have a choice. You have the controls to change direction. Sow into your garden (life) the SEED of
Eternal Life which is Jesus Christ. Feed
yourself daily of His Spirit, so you may have Seed to Sow to others, and let
the cycle of harvest produce His Life in and through you daily. That is what is meant of “If we live in the
Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” Galatians 5:25. If you live, or could say, abide in the
Spirit by Faith, then walk in, or could say produce of the Spirit.
Galatians 6:6-10 *v8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of
the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit
reap life everlasting.
v10 As we have therefore opportunity,
let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of
faith.
So, even though we can REST in Jesus
Christ, Yet, We still Work, but by FAITH WORKING, and thus, WALKING in GRACE …
seeing that He has obtained salvation Through Works of His own Spirit, having
overcome His flesh for all flesh…
… for in THIS RIGHTEOUSNESS of Jesus
Christ we are sanctified, justified, and liberated daily, knowing that because
He has obtained salvation and victory and liberty from that sinful flesh nature
FOR US, that WE TOO can WALK in HIS WORK that has been accomplished, and BY
FAITH we can Walk in the Spirit of Life, and by the Spirit of Life produce His
Fruit and the Character of the Resurrected One – Jesus Christ our Lord.
Walking Now, in the Divine Nature of
the Perfect One, who is liberated from all sin and death of the flesh, soul,
and spirit…. Now that’s a mouth full to
say… but it is right and fruitful.
Sooooo
SOW to the Spirit …. Walk in
Faith of the Works of the Son, and Then your Faith will be alive, and not
dead… because your Faith will be working, and it will be accounted unto you for
righteousness also… for Believing all that the Father has done.
John 6:28-29 Then said they unto him,
What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said
unto them,
This is the work of God, that ye
believe on him whom he hath sent.
Thank You Father!
Amen.
