As those set free by Christ, the Galatians have been placed by God on the way of walking according to the Spirit. However, the sinful flesh wars against those desires of the Spirit, and so the Christian is engaged in a constant struggle. On the one hand, the works of the flesh are readily evident. Whether “big” or “small,” all of these works of the flesh lead us away from the kingdom of God. However, the Holy Spirit works His fruit in His people. Because we are alive in the Spirit, we walk with Him, crucifying our flesh and being raised to newness of life with Christ.
Rev. Jason M. Kaspar, pastor at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church and Preschool in La Grange, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Galatians 5:16-26.
“No Other Gospel” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through the epistle of Galatians. St. Paul writes an urgent letter to the Galatians lest they forsake the one true Gospel. The apostle calls the Galatians away from the teaching of the Judaizers, because salvation does not come when we add any sort of works to what Jesus has done for us. We are only saved by God’s grace in Christ Jesus.
