in Galatians, we learn that we died to our life of sin and were given a new life in Jesus Christ

We have been set free from sin and the law so that we can be restored to what God made us to be

our flesh (sinful nature) is a war with the Spirit of God within us

The fruits of love and joy, are contrasted with the fleshly acts of hatred and fits of rage

we continue with the fruits love and Joy and talk directly about the words we speak, specifically when it is sinful to curse

Patience and Goodness Vs. Sexual Immorality, impurity & debauchery

the fruit of the spirit: peace, while we have our annual meeting


Goodness and kindness Vs Selfish ambition, jealousy, and envy


In Joel's final message in this series - Joel looks at Galatians 6:2 - "Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ!" If you were to have all the fruits of the Spirit, but did not love your brother and sister in Christ, you will have missed the point of how to live as a follower of Christ!!!
