260705 - Pentecost IV - Identity in Christ III - Living from the Inside Out

As we pursue a Spirit-led Identity in Christ, our choice to be intentional about our choices is the intersection at which our path is set. We choose to act in love rather than to REACT according to our automatic, fleshly programming. If we are not actively engaged in making choices, we are impassively choosing the path of inaction. “If one chooses not to decide, one has still made a choice.” The Spirit-led and Spirit-fed character bears fruit when we cultivate the soil of our own spirit and life to be healthy and oriented toward the Son. The fruits of the Spirit are hallmarks of a mature walk with Christ, keeping in step with Him, honoring Him with the temple each one of us made to be.
