On Controlling Your Body

Just some notes from a sermon I listened to recently that I thought had some excellent truths. I believe it was from John Macarthur’s recent series on abstaining from sexual sin… but I am not positive. ::::

The key to controlling your body (and not letting it control you) is the Holy Spirit. Walking in the Spirit. (Gal 5:16-17) The key to walking in the Spirit is being filled by the Spirit.  (Eph 5:17-18). The key to being filled by the Spirit is letting the Word of Christ dwell in you richly. (Col 3:16) The key to letting the Word of Christ dwell in you richly is hiding the Word in your heart that you may not sin. (Psalm 119)

Not a superficial reading of your daily devotion. Abide in the Word!
