We seek His kingdom and His righteousness. That means we walk in the Spirit. He leads us in righteousness.
When walk in the Spirit, we reflect the character of God. Love peace.....
But I don't agree with what you say next.
We keep the law perfectly, and through no effort of our own. Christ lives through us.
I don't know about you but I need to wrestle against the carnal nature.
Jesus stands at the door and knocks, He does not force us. We need to choose.
The Spirit vs the flesh.
Rom 8:1-14 KJV 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
...... 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
.....13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Notice that it isn't without a choice on our part.
We choose who we will serve.
If it was done without any effort from us all people should be saved. God would make every so full of the Spirit that they could not follow the flesh.
We can choose to walk after the Spirit, if we choose to allow God to come into our hearts.. but we must also crucify the flesh. Only room for one.
All glory to God for all Good comes from Him. But many choose to follow the flesh and ignore the Spirit.
