To walk after the flesh “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Rom. 8:1 To walk after the flesh carries with it the idea of the flesh going before us—as our leader, guide, and example—and our following close in […]
what it is to “walk in him.” A. We often, through the power of sin, the subtlety of Satan, and the strength of temptation, get drawn aside from the simplicity that is in Christ. 1. When the Lord is pleased in any manner to manifest himself to the soul, SIN receives a paralyzing blow—it cannot […]
