Read Galatians 5 – When I was a young soldier I was taught to march. The main idea was to be in complete alignment with everyone else in the formation. When their right foot hit the ground, so did mine (or a sergeant would make sure I hit the ground in the form of push-ups). This alignment caused a smooth flowing movement of soldiers in a particular direction. As disciples of Jesus it is the same objective. We want to be in complete alignment with Him through His Holy Spirit. Another way to put it; Abide in Christ. And alignment is the key to a fruitful life. Are we in step with His Spirit? (1 Jn 2.6)
