Daily Devotions With Jonathan FalwellSampel

Do you deal with the battle of good versus evil often in your Christian walk? 

The Bible says in Galatians 5, "Let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants.”  These two forces are constantly fighting each other. When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear - sexual immorality, idolatry, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, anger, selfish ambition, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Paul instructs us in 1 Corinthians 6:10, "anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.” Now, the Holy Spirit produces good fruit in our lives - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to His cross and crucified them there. So you need to let the Holy Spirit guide your life and lead your steps.  This will make sure you win the battle of good vs. evil.
