What are the marks of the Spirit filled life? What does it look like to walk by the Spirit? To be led by the Spirit? In Galatians 6, we see that the spirit-filled life is spectacularly ordinary: not ecstatic utterances, powerful gifts, monastic experiences, overflowing riches or good health, but rather a loving concern to restore sinners, a careful investment in the things of the Spirit and a right boasting in the cross.
