Galatians 3:1-5
The question is: How do we live the Christian life without crashing? How do we maintain a dynamic spiritual vitality without burning out?
That’s how we got started in the Christian life. We began with a simple faith in Christ who loved us and died for us.
If you want God’s Holy Spirit within, then stop trying to chase after Him; stop working so hard to get Him. Instead, simply receive Him by resting quietly in Christ.
All we need to do is trust our Coach. All we need to do is trust God’s Holy Spirit as He leads us through life.
In other words, don’t give up the fight yet! Keep on living your life by faith in Christ, not somebody’s religious system.
But that’s exactly how God supplies His Spirit to those of us who believe. He supplies His Holy Spirit with great, extravagant abundance!
He supplies His Spirit as a life-long companion and close friend, as One who walks with us through every step of our lives.
