Action

I prepare my mind for each action, keep sober in spirit. To be sober-minded, means understand the   divine priorities, fix my hope completely on the Grace, to be brought to me at the revelation of Him.

Galatians 5, in verse 22, i read," Since U have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere  love of the brethren, fervently love one another  from the heart." ...Understand ,  i can find two things sum up the command for the Christine:

PERFECT LOVE AND PERFECT HOLINESS.

loving Him with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength, i am to love my neighbor as ourselves, and i am to be obedient to the law of God perfectly. That standard cannot be lowered.

Action, there it is , i am to live like christ, it is the divine standard.

I am called to holiness, to pure love, and to christ like obedience; that is the standard. And because of that standard  being so high and because of the weakness of our flesh, our only hope for coming anywhere near that standard is to walk by the spirit-and that is what i am finding in  Galatians.  I search  Him through the words in  Bible.

Something abnormal, not something highly emotional, not something transcendent , but the normal pattern of our life is to desire to follow the impulses of the Holy spirit as HE illuminates the understanding of Scripture.

In the Romans 7, Paul said in verse 5:" while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death." The law arouses sin. The law stirs up sin.

The law incites new ways for U to be sinful. Instead of the law restricting your sin, the law exacter bates our sin.

The more and more things , i know that God  for bids, the more things my fallen flesh longs for. Understand that the law in Paul's word just aroused sinful passions. 

Romans 8:26:

况且，我们的软弱有圣灵帮助，我们本不晓得当怎样祷告，只是圣灵亲自用说不出来的叹息替我们祷告。

他， 通过自由的意志使得人与自己相像。通过与他的关系建立出人的人格，通过哪些渠道？人在自己的自由中却能够对建立他的存在的这种状况，这样的，那样的，表态。共契关系，将人固定在这种共契关系里面，微弱的残存的自由通过这种共契被固定在善中得以实现并行动，完成。
