Spared by the Spirit

This verse made me think I had to go back and read it over again.

Galations 5:17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.

According to the Bible Knowledge Commentary, this verse is saying that, if allowed, the Holy Spirit will “block” us from doing the wrong things that our old man would naturally do. Not only does Christ save us from our sin, but the Holy Spirit keeps us from continuing to sin as much as our unsaved selves would. I think that is so amazing. God is so good to us.
