A sign for the follower of Jesus

For the follower of Jesus, one can see a sign in their life to see if they truly are a follower or have fooled themselves. Here is a verse that helps with that:

Galatians 5:24
24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

Here the word of God says something very simple but very important:

“Those who ARE Christ’s” means those who have placed their faith and trust in Jesus by repenting of their sins and making Jesus Lord of their life by faith alone.

2. “Have crucified the flesh” means have removed or are removing sinful desires and passions and are not acting upon them,

Now this does not mean you will never sin, but it should mean you are in a constant striving to live a holy life by the power of the Holy Spirit. If one is living in constant habitual sin the flesh has not been crucified and thus they are not Christ’s!

May God’s Word speak to us all and may all of us seek to obey the Word!
