Galatians 5:16-26
Galatians 5:16-26
We continue the process of making full application of the doctrine of justification by faith alone in Christ alone. We must apply doctrine through faithful obedience in order to enjoy its full benefits.Our first command in response to this great doctrine was to stand fast in the liberty by which Christ has made us free. Now we are commanded to walk in the Spirit and to be led by the Spirit. As followers of Jesus Christ, it is imperative that we understand fully that we cannot live a godly life in Christ Jesus apart from the power of the Holy Spirt.Walking in the Spirit and being led by the Spirit must be given the highest priority the life of a believer. The return of Christ is at hand. The days are far spent. We need to be living fully for Jesus every waking moment.Maranatha

Chapter 5
16
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
