How do we know that we are led by the Spirit not by the
flesh? Paul tells us to observe ourselves to see by which we are.
"Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love,
if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy..."
(Philippians 2:1 NKJV) Are we drawn to the word of living God in season and out
of season? Are we encouraged and uplifted and enlightened and strengthened when
we open and read the scriptures? Are we being corrected and instructed in mind
and heart by the truth of God? Are we now more loving than the first we
believed? Are we now more rejoicing than the first we came to Christ? Are we
more enduring? Are we more cheerful? Do we now more understand the word of God
than before? Are we able to teach someone and answer the questions based on the
truth in this age of deception? Are we rejecting the evil thoughts of the world
by faith? Are we fearing of God more than anything else? Are we obeying Him? Do
we love one another? These are the tests.
