The Bible talks about Christ in us, but it talks 10 times more about us being "In Christ". When we trust in Christ's sacrifice on the Cross God looks at us as actually having died with him, burried and resurrected to a new life.

The Devil is actively trying to trip us up, but he also is the accuser!

1 Therefore, there is now no condemation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me from from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man.
4 In order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit

First of all, we are not condemned like the devil makes us think we are when we sin. Because as long as we are still alive we are not ever going to be completely free of sin. Walking in the Spirit involves looking to that sacrifice of Christ on the Cross. He does not recognize faith in our own ability to "not sin" The object of our faith has to be Christ and him crucified. Then the Holy Spirit will work in our life as we continue to trust in Christ's sacrifice!

In Christ,
Judy

P.S. Does anyone have any comments about what it means to Walk in the Spirit vs Wallking in the Flesh? Feel free to participate in this thread - anyone!!!!!
