       We still have temptations to sin, but our overall drive is to want to please God. We depend on God to pick up where we lack, and we do what we feel he wants us to do. Now, walking by the Spirit isn’t just not doing certain sins, and it’s not just randomly obeying different commandments from the New Testament in a legalistic fashion. Rather, it is following what we feel God wants us to be doing with our lives, where we feel he is leading us, doing what he has gifted us to do. Remember those spiritual gifts passages? We are going to talk about this later in Romans. God gifts each of us differently to do certain things in life, and that’s what he want us to be doing, to be focusing our time on. We need to be able to differentiate between what the Spirit of God wants from us and what Satan and his demons are trying to convey to us. This is something we have to do; it is a choice that we have to make. When we trust in God, he will lead us where we are supposed to go.
