Galatians Chapter 5 Discussion Page 4

Amen praise the Lord

Revellings? Our people today are full of drunkenness, revellings. We need to be sober

As Christ Died To Make Men Holy, Let Us Live To Make Men Free While Gods Truth Is Marching On!

Being led of the Spirit means that you have no license for self-serving behavior. It does mean that the Holy Spirit within is listing to war against the works of the flesh. You must take up arms in the battle of love and holiness

I have attained some of the fruits of the spirit through prayer.One must put on armor to defend ourselves from the sins of the flesh. coming from all directions and facets of life.I have seen both sides being a bit of a fencesitter but Jesus is the Truth and the only way.

God is love give God the glory

We want to use our free will to serve Jehovah God and do the things pleasing to him.

For Brethen ye have called unto Liberty. Only not use Liberty in all occasions to the flesh but by love serve one another. Thank you Jesus for your love and mercy help me Jesus to forgive and forget for you my Jehovah is Love remove any hatred that sometimes played in my mind let your Holy Spirit cleanse me oh Lord for you are the one who made me victorious deliver us from the defeated enemy amen

I find Galatians 5 to serve as a blueprint, in many ways, because Paul reiterates on what Jesus taught regarding the things we must do, and not do, to inherit the Kingdom of God. In this chapter, the Word is made plain with no parables to decipher, plus, Paul identifies each vice separately, so there should be no confusion as to what's acceptable and what is not. Thank you for fixing the volume

Galatians is a feeding to my soul

How do we know its an Apple Tree, or an Orange Tree? Because of its fruit! How does God know that we are saved and really in the Good Tree? By the fruit! Not every one who says, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of God, but he that does the will of the Father. If we love Jesus we will necessarily also DO what He says. If we have His Spirit and grace really working in us, then we will reflect it!

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." A law is a rule or set of rules for good behavior which is considered right and important; a law is a natural process in which a particular event or thing always leads to a particular result. We do those things that ESTABLISH the rules of good behavior.

I had some thoughts I wanted to share with you. I hope they come over clearly enough as I had kind of a hard time finding just how to put in words. I think the point has to do with where we place our faith... on outward observance of the Law, and putting ourselves under a yoke that actually can misrepresent the character and nature of our grace and peace in Christ, with respect also to our place won by Christ's shed blood and sacrifice to redeem us to God and enact our Adoption as children, over servants that we were before.

"Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." The Lord Jesus said many times about how "...you shall have whatsoever you say " and in the minds of most of us, that tremendous word has been a great inspiration and encouragement both for every trial and difficulty that we should encounter and for the unsearchable wonder of His open invitation to ask WHATSOEVER WE DESIRE when we pray! In the context of what the Apostle is teaching here, our speech and confession coroborates our very standing in God's sight by the form of our religion. As with all of God's truth, the "tip of the iceberg" as we may first come to see, is still part of the whole, which is far greater and deeper than can immediately be seen. The power and authority that God has given to man to pronounce in faith, to bring things about, we are still far from fully grasping. But this is what is implied in the things and manners we take as our religion.

"If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit." We ARE under Law to Christ: The Law of the Spirit of Life! We are in a war against the lusts of the flesh, which work to deceive us into sinning. We LIVE IN THE SPIRIT! Our weapons are not carnal, but mighty through God TO THE PULLING DOWN OF STRONGHOLDS! We are under Charge of God to CAST DOWN IMAGINATIONS and to control our thoughts!

Amen.

Galatians 5:22 Fruits of the spirit are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance.

Which sprit are we go after the sprit of this earth and under. The earth or The Holy Sprit that the The God above the earth

Amen

Steve M. Also; Galatians 5:13-14, V.13 "For, brethren, Ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but, by love serve one another."

Good read

I know love,meekness longsuffing goodness peace joy is God cause he love happiness he gives and keeps giving that's love even when you don't deserve it.

To Irene: Thanks, God bless !

Isn't that a beautiful verse? Thank-you for sharing it with me and anyone else that sees it. I knew about Num. 6:24-27, and I've seen this one, but it didn't register for some reason. Have a good day, Bro. Dan ........

To Irene 123: May God be gracious to us and bless us and make His face to shine upon us! Ps. 67:1 Amen.

To Daniel FC - you're a wise man; you know quite a lot ............

123:V:22-26? We are all drawing closer to the grave, young or old. Most are on that wide road. Few find it even harder to find the Narrow Road. We who are redeemed by The Blood of The Lamb, are the only Light the world will see,if they don't see Christ in us???Called: John 6:44,forgiving : 1John1:9,Baptized with fire: Matthew 3:11,Changed: 2Corinthians 5:17, you "will" know, "impossible" not to know!

To Irene 123: Jn 15:13 is a beautiful text but has nothing to do with our "subject". Not that I need it, but for your Christian growth and self esteem: An "I am sorry" would have been more... biblical.
No hard feelings,
Bro. Daniel

To Daniel FC - Jn.15:13

To Irene123: P.S. Jesus was 12 when He began teaching in the temple ( Lk. 2:42). Why should you be surprise if the Holy Spirit wants to use a 12 year old girl to teach you something? I see you're making comments on comments all over the place: are you learning anything, or you're
just teaching? ...
