Living Spiritually: Following Christ's Example Christian Discipleship Lesson Eleven

The highest calling and perfection of living is found in the person who enters into a life of living spiritually. The life of Immanuel, Jesus Christ, proves this thesis perfectly! He lived a Spirit filled life, from conception to death to resurrection. In every aspect He was victorious by living through the power of God. His example can become our way of life also, from being born of the Spirit as He was. Jesus was tested in all the points of existence as we are. However, the Scripture is plain, in our testing we fall into various sins; in Jesus’ testing He went through them without sin. The difference between Jesus and us is, He yielded to the Spirit and overcame the test; we try to defeat the test in our own strength and we fail. If you are tired of being in the trap of the sin cycle like the Apostle Paul was, “ For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do,” (Romans 7:15 NKJV) then enter Living Spiritually and learn the way of the Spirit.
