"For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God." Rom. 8:12-13
Who's in control?
If you, according the the Bible, there's every reason to reconsider.
It says that the difference between being led by the flesh and by the Holy Spirit is life itself; abundant life now, and eternal life with God FOREVER!
This absolutely does not mean that you give up the joys and wonders of life in the present.
To the contrary, those whose lives are committed to the Lordship of Jesus are far more content and filled with peace and joy than they ever experienced without Him as their Savior and dearest Friend.
Glance back at what Paul said in the verses printed above; "if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, YOU WILL LIVE."
Yes, you do have to experience it to believe it.
But, there is no other way.
