The Good LifeSample

Our sinful nature is anything in us looking out only for ourselves or going after a life that ultimately doesn’t make us or the world better. It’s focused only on us. Truthfully, to live that way is easy. It takes intention and self-awareness to live with the Spirit in mind. The good news is that living with the Spirit in mind leads to life—greater purpose and more joy—but living only with yourself in mind? That’s a shortcut to a dissatisfied life. Paul says it leads to death—a life with less purpose, less joy, and less fulfilling relationships. The more you practice recognizing the Spirit at work in and around you, the easier it will be to follow the Spirit’s guidance into the kind of life you want.
