Galatians

Galatians 6:18 As we live amongst each other may we offer grace to each other.

Galatians 6:17 "  From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks  of Jesus." Paul It makes me think that we need to be good to each other as Christians because there is enough pressure coming from outside the Christian community.

Galatians 6:14-16 The letter of the law is not as important as the new person God is making us. This new person will begin to exhibit the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Love, joy peace patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control

Galatians 6:14-15 It’s not about what we have done it’s about what Christ has done on the Cross. Has His death and resurrection made you a new creation? music about the cross

Galatians 6:12-13 Have you thought about your defining moments? The day you were baptized, the day you were married, the day... Well Paul is helping folks wrestle with their defining moments in faith. As gentiles the folks aren’t circumcised so the Jewish Christians are saying to be circumcised is a defining moment for the gentiles but Paul says think again. It’s a flesh thing not a spiritual thing. He also says if you subscribe to the law you have to obey it all and no one is doing this...so he says step out in faith. This gives us the opportunity to obey the next little thing God tells us to do.

Galatians 6:11 I find it interesting as Paul is trying to teach a new way of life that he interrupts his teaching to share with his audience what he’s been learning...hand writing. It’s also interesting that he’s learning later on in life. May we always be teachable.

Galatians 6:10 It’s interesting to note here we’re to especially take care of those who belong to the family of believers

Galatians 6:8-9 A harvest is not instant but if you continue to sow by the Spirit you will see the harvest.

Galatians 6:6 Let the student learn from the teacher and the teacher from the student.

Galatians 6:7

Galatians 6:3-5 It’s important to not think more (or less) highly of yourself but test your actions and be proud of them without  comparing to another person. This is because we’re each responsible for our own load.

Galatians 6:1-2 If we’re wise we will take time to pray and seek Gods direction when others sin. It’s important to see the other perspective and carry each other’s  burden.

Galatians 5:26 Watch out for conceit and envy. We don’t want to provoke each other.

Galatians 5:24-25 Let's keep in step with the Spirit and crucify the desires of the flesh.

Galatians 5:22-23 If we walk by the Spirit we will produce fruit of the Spirit so let’s do it.

Galatians 5:18-21 The list of things of the flesh is long; but if we walk by the Spirit as opposed to the flesh we are not under the law.

Galatians 5:16-17 I'm reminded of how often my desire to eat chocolate out weighs my desire to study God's word.  How about you?  Are you following the desires of the Spirit or the desires of the flesh?

Galatians 5:15 There are consequences to devouring each other so be kind to each other.
