I believe most people define Christianity negatively. By that I mean they define religion by what they have to give up. No drinking, no cursing, no fun. I don’t think that is the way Christ looks at it though. I believe the gospel clearly shows that if you are filled with the Holy Spirit you will naturally move toward more Godly behavior. It’s a positive not a negative. For example in Galatians 5:16 Paul says,”But I say to you, walk in the Spirit and you will deny the desires of the flesh.” The order of that sentence is very important. He did not say deny worldly things and you will be filled with the Spirit. He said walk in the Spirit first. Be filled with the Spirit and what is important to the world will not be important to you.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Yea 2009!
