       This is the same thing as Paul said, when he said, “For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh.” We should not live by our fleshy efforts. We have to depend on Jesus to accomplish through us what he wants and desires to accomplish. If we try to come up with our own plans, and do things our own, creative ways, we are living by the flesh. If we try to formulate a way to live from following verses from the Bible, adhering to them faithfully by our own efforts, we’re in trouble. There are a great deal of people and churches operating this way. You see, the greater the legalism we find then, the greater the sin. I know this may be a shock to some of you; I know; I lived for years believing that following rules was how you made for a better, more Spirit-filled life. All legalism does is hide sin, it doesn’t take it away.
