"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God" (Romans 8:14). Each and every believer may be led by the Holy Spirit. He lives in the heart of every true believer in Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9). God will lead us on the right path day after day. The Bible teaches clearly how God leads us.
All believers may be led by the fruit of the Holy Spirit. The fruit includes love, joy, and peace. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace" (Galatians 5:22). These three words characterize any believer who is led by the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit leads us with love. When we follow Him, we love God and others. The Spirit of God leads us with joy. When we refuse to follow, joy evades you. The Spirit of God leads you with peace. It's "the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding" (Philippians 4:7).
The Holy Spirit will lead us daily. He will not force us to follow Him. However, there are only two choices. One is to follow the Holy Spirit. The other one is to go astray. Even when we go astray, the Holy Spirit is there to lead us back into the right way.
When we follow the Holy Spirit, we discover love, joy, and peace. When we don't follow, then we doubt God's love, forfeit real joy, and replace peace with confusion. The choice is clear. The results are predictable, when God leads us.
