Holy Spirit and the Right Motive
To keep our motives correct, we need the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit keep our hearts pure. The Holy Spirit can help us keep our motives for weight loss focused on God. While sin tears us down, the Holy Spirit renews us and builds us up through God's power and through His mercy.
"The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; 7the sinful mind[b] is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. 8Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.
"You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you." Romans 8:6-9 (NIV)
