[Genesis 2:7AMP Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being.]

In our opening verse we discover something – After God created man, unlike with the animals, He breathed into his nostrils the Spirit of Life (the Holy Spirit) and man became a living being. So it is the Spirit that empowered man to become a living being. We were created to live Spirit empoweredlife. That is why when you got born again, the Holy Spirit came to live in us, to enable us to live the Spirit-empowered life. However, Romans 8:1 reveals though we all have the spirit empowered life as Christians, some Christians still live the carnal life that is controlled by the flesh. You have to choose to live the Spirit empowered life. A life that is yielded to the control and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Or else the flesh will control your life. Romans 8:13 says if you live a life that is controlled by the flesh you will die. So choose to live the Spirit empowered life and live a triumphant and victorious life.
