Episode Synopsis

Results of Living by the Spirit from Galatians 5 Click here for notes on this message and here to more material and episodes. Those Christians who live by the Spirit display Christ's selfless love, not by following the law but by having crucified the flesh (5:22-24). This is the true fruit of liberty—love. We have been set free to live by the Spirit to love with the type of love characterized by the eight characteristics listed (22-23). Since the law was given to constrain the flesh, there's no need for the law when we live by the Spirit (23b). When we trusted in Christ, the power of the flesh in our lives was crucified (24). Specific Warning to the Galatians: "If you're led by the Spirit, you'll live by loving one another well. That's not how you're treating one another according to the reports I've heard" (25-26). True spiritual maturity: Liberated Christians, living by the Spirit, glorify God by their Christ-like love.
