Lesson 12 (Sept 8-15), Living by the Spirit

Walking in the Spirit

1. Is there any difference between "walking in the Spirit" and "following the Spirit?" Why did Paul use the former?
2. Why is religion a "way" of life?

The Christian's Conflict

1. Why is "lust" associated with flesh and not with the mind? If it really is connected with the body, how can it be controlled?
2. Are lusts of the flesh all sinful?

The Works of the Flesh

1. Are lust of the flesh only urges to do wrong, or can it also be the failure to do right? 
2. How is looking at a list of vices and virtues helpful?

The Fruit of the Spirit

1. Why is "works of the flesh" plural when "fruit of the Spirit" is singular?
2. Which of the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control), benefit the individual directly and how do the others help the individual?

The Way to Victory

1. How does one practically "walk in the Spirit?'
2. What does the devil do to try to keep us from "walking in the Spirit?"
