The Key to Discipleship

I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. (Galatians 5:16)

The New King James Version. Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson, 1982.

Jesus said, "Follow ME ..." and he said, "I will send Another Who will guide you into all truth ..."

Both require walking and being lead. Too often, our focus in discipleship is on the "discipline of the flesh" or "the denial of the flesh." These miss the main thing and actually hinder our progress. We focus on "THE FLESH." Our focus should be on "THE SPIRIT"!

When we learn Who He is, How He walks, Where He walks, When He walks, and Why He walks and then get IN sync, THEN we will no longer have to worry over our flesh. Walking will take care of that. The verse says that "you will not fulfill ..."

So what are you focused on? Walking, or your failing flesh? Start walking!
