Episode notes
Mortification And Vivification Are Both Required
- Walking by the Spirit requires both mortification (killing sin) and vivification (stirring affection for Christ).
- Joby Martin ties Galatians 5 to John 15: abide in Christ and allow pruning, not just willful abstinence from sin.
Practice Three Essentials To Feed The Spirit
- Feed the Spirit by practicing three daily essentials: God's Word, God's presence, and God's people.
- Joby recommends sermons plus personal Bible study so the Holy Spirit can teach and remind you of Jesus' truths.
Make Prayer First Response And Worship Regular
- Prioritize prayer as a first response and corporate worship as a regular experience of God's presence.
- Joby emphasizes consistency: private prayer (go into your prayer closet) and gathering for worship where God uniquely manifests.
