Can a Christian walk according to the flesh rather than according to the Spirit?

Won’t happen. If one is truly “born again” by faith in Jesus and the Holy Spirit is their Guarantor of New Covenant relationship with the Father (John 3:3-5; Ephesians 1:13-14), they can’t compromise with the World void a crippling accusatory conscience; in other words, a true Christian cannot function day-to-day living in sinful compromise with the World; the Spirit will NOT allow it.

The greatest gift Jesus provides us along with eternal life in the Kingdom is a life of peace, contentment, joy, fellowship, through the Holy Spirit…once these gifts are tasted and internalized, there is nothing that satisfies the Christian but intimacy with the Father, Jesus, the Holy Spirit. NOTHING in the World can replace or substitute the JOY of the Spirit’s anointing with peace and contentment irrespective of the World’s allure. If one can walk according to the World they don’t belong Jesus, they are NOT a Christian; therefore, it’s an oxymoron…a continually compromising Christian is a contradiction in terms.
