Presentation Transcript
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Spirit led by the Spirit (v. 18) objective. Galatians 3:1-5 fellowship w/ Spirit Ephesians 5:17-18; 6:17; Colossians 3:16 through word. Flesh the things that you wish (v. 17) subjective. Ephesians 2:3; Romans 8:3 left to self, carrying out own desires, leads to sin.
WORKS of the flesh (v. 19) cf. Galatians 2:16; 3:12; Romans 4:4 these are products of our own making. FRUIT of the Spirit (v. 22) cf. James 1:18, 21 a product of an outside source planted within us (cf. Galatians 2:20).
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish And those who are Christ s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. (vv. 17, 24-25)
