About this episode
Pastor Blaine teaches about the distinction between living according to the flesh and living according to the Spirit, emphasizing the importance of a relationship with Jesus for salvation.
Pastor Blaine teaches that there are only two kinds of people—those living according to the flesh and those living according to the Spirit—and that our nature is revealed by what we set our minds and affections on. A life focused on the flesh leads to death, while a life centered on the Spirit leads to life and peace. He emphasizes that sin is active hostility toward God and that salvation is not based on works or experiences, but on a present, ongoing relationship with Jesus marked by repentance and a desire to obey Him. Christians are called to live in the world with rightly ordered love, enjoying life without idolizing it, while serving as ambassadors for Christ, and can have confidence in their salvation because they are known and securely held by Him.
