Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is essentially the same bible study as FREEDOM in CHRIST, with a slightly different focus. It's a continuation of the theme of living and walking in the Spirit, the first study of which is called "DISCERNING SPIRIT and Flesh" which is so important to understanding before crucifying the flesh! As Galatians 5 says, "those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh..." What does the phrase, "those who are Christ's" mean? And how does one crucify their flesh? What if we don't crucify the flesh? Because of what Christ has done and the power of the Holy Spirit in us, a believer can lay aside his old self, and no longer walk in the former way of life, darkened in understanding, slaves to unrighteousness. Instead, we can put on the new self who is being renewed in true knowledge through faith in Christ Jesus. We can be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, pray in the Spirit, walk in the light, and in the newness of life. We can be alive in the Spirit, with good conscience toward God, a temple of God, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in us. And more... We can be instruments of righteousness to God, for those who are Christ's are a new creation, reconciled to God through Christ Jesus, renewed by the Holy Spirit. We have hope in God and we're being perfected in holiness in fear of God. When we abide in the bread from heaven, the Spirit who gives life, we are partakers of the divine nature, raised together with Christ. We seek those things which are from above where Christ is seated. We live and walk in the Spirit, in love, building one another up, doing what is pleasing and acceptable to the Lord. Scripture explains Scripture. So each lesson herein is a paragraph or two of scripture, in context, sorted by theme, where two or more of the words "crucify, flesh, and/or the Spirit" (and their various synonyms) appear in the same paragraph; followed by four questions. Each Scripture is in context, but it's best if you also read what surrounds these verses. You should consider the follow up to this book called "LIVE in the SPIRIT." Galatians 5 reads, "If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit?" What does it mean to "live" in the Spirit? What is the opposite of living in the Spirit? How do we live "in the Spirit?" What's the difference between "living" in the Spirit and "walking" in the Spirit? "Those who are Christ's have CRUCIFIED the FLESH" is one of the many Bible studies compiled by Bob Benoit which center around the Christian walk: ABIDING, in JESUS, HIM in you, and BEARING FRUIT that glorifies God (i.e. John 15 and so much more).
