4And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

5And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. (KJV)

The Holy Spirit Allows Us to Keep God's Law

If we have our focus on the things of the flesh, then we cannot keep the law of God and please God. We can have our focus on the things of God and keep his law through the power of the Holy Spirit as the apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8:5-9:

5For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. (KJV)

Conclusion

We should avoid Christianity lite. We should tap into the power of God?™s Holy Spirit to overcome sin, love others, and be a light to the world.
