Living in the Spirit - a definition

Living according to the Spirit brings much fruit. Galatians 5 states that living in this way produces love, peace, joy, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self-control. But what does it actually mean to live according to the Spirit?

Living connected to God, to His life strengthening Spirit.

It is living open to Him, listening to Him, trusting in Him and responding to Him.
An inner dialogue where His Spirit flows through us and inspires and empowers.

This is the life we are called to. A life constantly open to every prompt. A life of trust.
