The Bible encourages believers to live by the Spirit, not by the flesh, emphasizing that following the Spirit’s guidance leads to a fulfilling life and a greater understanding of God’s will.
This means rejecting the desires of the flesh, aligning oneself with God’s will, and walking in accordance with the Spirit’s leading.
