“The Fight” - Galatians 5:16-26

Questions for further reflection:

1. Read Galatians 5:13-26. What does Paul say about how the Galatians relate to one another (5:15, 26)? Maintaining Christian freedom is a battle, not only in the church but in each of us as believers. Read Galatians 5:16-18. How does he describe this battle?

2. Randy told us about his friend Keith, who thought he was no longer a Christian because he kept “messing up” (Galatians 5:19-21) and thought he lost his salvation (Gal. 5:21). How will you help him?

3. What are three ways to “walk by the Spirit” from Galatians 5:24-26? Which one of these is most meaningful to you right now? Why?

Prayer Prompt: The way “in” to the Christian life (by grace through faith in Christ and life in the Spirit) is the way “on” (growing in Christ and bearing fruit). Give thanks to God that our sins are forgiven on the cross of Christ. Confess sins that may have hindered your fellowship with the Lord and receive his forgiveness (1 John 1:9). Ask the Father to allow the Spirit of Christ to so fill your church that outsiders will see the fruit of the Spirit at Faith Baptist Church.
