Living After the Flesh or Spirit | Ep 22

Where does the Christian walk begin? In this episode of All Things for Good, Pastor Josh Strelecki explores what it means to live daily by God’s grace rather than by mere performance or law-keeping. While good works and activity should mark every believer’s life, the issue is not whether we work, but where that work comes from—the flesh or the Spirit.

From Romans 6–8, Galatians, and 2 Corinthians, this episode explains that the believer is no longer under law but under grace. The law, though holy and good, exposes sin and demands performance from our weak flesh. Grace, by contrast, provides both the standing and the power we need—through the Spirit of God—to walk in newness of life. True Christian living flows from inward transformation by the Spirit, not outward effort in the flesh.

Listeners will learn to recognize two major pitfalls: returning to the law (legalism) or chasing the world’s wisdom (carnal living). Both rob believers of joy and fruitfulness. Instead, God’s grace supplies all sufficiency to abound in good works, whether in marriage, service, or daily priorities. The Spirit teaches, renews the mind, and produces genuine godliness and love that the law or the flesh never could.

This episode calls believers to root their walk in Christ’s finished work, to renew their minds in His Word, and to depend on His Spirit for strength. Living under grace protects from burnout, fosters true joy, and empowers a life that pleases God.
