"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." -John 6:63

We, as christian should know & understand what are the most important things in our lives, in this world & in todays' generation.

We all want to live, no one who is in his right mind would want to die... No one. When we are in the verge of dying and though we are bound to die, we still want to live. If we have someone whom we love so dear, who is dying, we want them to live. I think those are natural reaction, in line with God's Scripture because we are created to live, have life- eternal life because heaven is our home. We are intended to live with our Creator.

And since we all want to live, this verse tells us, in a way, how we can have that life we so desire. I believe we also need to know & understand the opposite of life and that is death. This verse tells us that the Spirit gives off life or produces life while 'flesh profiteth nothing'...

To clarify things I'd like to share a verse regarding flesh & the Spirit.

"For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would." -Galatians 5:17

"Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." -Galatians 5:19-21

Flesh lead us to sin. The wages of sin is death. That is why the Spirit & flesh can never go together. They are never one. You can either go with flesh and expect death or you can have the Spirit and have life.

Everything actually is a matter of choice. In what you would decide because God has given us an option, an option we clearly don't deserve after all we have done against our God but truly God is a loving, merciful & forgiving God for Him to allow us to have life and be with Him if... and only if we believe on His Son, whom all was cleansed by His blood on the cross, where He was crucified.

You can either believe in Him or not because our salvation is base on our faith by God's grace in Jesus Christ, the life we desire.

"Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." -John 14:6

With all that being said, I'd like to say it again... We all want to live. No one who is in his right mind would want to die... And no one who is in his right mind would chose death when we can chose life thru Jesus Christ.

The world has given us nothing but death leading way, be of good cheer God has made a way for us to be saved and have life & that way is Jesus.

I dare you to chose life always! To chose Christ always! Even if the world won't.

We all want to act guided by the Spirit for us to have life... And the Spirit & life we so desire is in the Word of God, may we not only hear the Word but may we understand the Word so that we can live it out in todays' generation for the world to see.

To God be the glory!
