Galatians 4-6


December 6

Galatians 4-6

There are obvious differences between those who live by the Spirit and those who live by the sinful nature. When we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, He begins to change the very core of our being. The focus of our lives changes from being self centered to being Christ centered. It is not a matter of following the law, it is a matter of the focus of our heart.

Just as an apple tree produces apples and an orange tree produces oranges, when we are filled with the Spirit of God, we produce the fruit of the Spirit, but when we are not filled with the Spirit of God, our actions reflect the sinful nature. Those who live by the sinful nature will not and cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. Those who irit.

Living the Christian life is not about struggling to walk in obedience. In fact, it is just live by the Spirit of God are citizens of the Kingdom of God and will remain in step with the Spthe opposite. Living the Christian life is to stop struggling to walk in obedience, but instead surrendering to God and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide our steps. When we walk in the Spirit the fruit is evident.
