Day 110 – Walking in the Spirit and Standing in His Strength

Today’s Reading: Galatians 5–6; Ephesians 1–6

Saturday, 18th October 2025

Introduction

Welcome to Day 110 of your Bible Marathon! Today’s reading carries us into the heart of the Christian life — a life led by the Spirit and clothed in the strength of God.

In Galatians 5–6, Paul draws a sharp line between living by the flesh and living by the Spirit. Freedom in Christ is not license to sin; it is empowerment to love, serve, and walk in righteousness. The fruit of the Spirit becomes the true evidence of maturity — love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

In Ephesians 1–6, Paul unveils the glorious riches of our inheritance in Christ. We are blessed with every spiritual blessing, chosen before the foundation of the world, and sealed with the Holy Spirit. He teaches about unity in the Body, the mystery of Christ revealed, and our daily walk as children of light. Finally, he equips believers for spiritual warfare — calling us to “put on the full armor of God” to stand firm against the enemy’s schemes.

Today’s message is one of empowerment, identity, and victory. You are called not just to believe, but to walk in the Spirit and stand in the strength of the Lord.

Who is God?

God is the Spirit of truth, the Father of lights, and the source of all strength. He empowers His children through the Holy Spirit to live above sin, walk in love, and overcome every attack of darkness. He is our Defender, Redeemer, and Commander in battle.

What are the ways of God?

God’s ways lead His people from bondage into freedom, from weakness into strength, and from darkness into light. He equips His saints for every good work, trains their hands for war, and teaches them to rely not on human effort but on His Spirit. His way is victory through surrender, power through obedience, and peace through trust.

What are His characters?

God is holy, empowering, and protective. He is wise in counsel and mighty in power. His love disciplines and strengthens; His Spirit transforms and sustains. He is faithful to complete the work He began in us and delights in seeing His children walk in truth and holiness.
