Discuss Galatians 5 Page 16

Thank you for the detailed answer Brother.
The last verse you quoted from Galatians 5:18, or in fact I read from the first verse all the way to the 18th verse those are not Jesus words, but Pauls.
He is talking about circumcision, Jesus never said dont circumcise your children.
Paul seems to have created his own law and sourced Jesus Christ who never said them.
Very interesting.

True not really new commandments
Someone asked Jesus what was the most important commandment.
Matthew 22:36 - Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Mat 22:37 - Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Mat 22:38 - This is the first and great commandment.

Mat 22:39 - And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Mat 22:40 - On these two commandments hang ALL the law and the prophets.
Yet
Galatians 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

I read all comments and critically analysed each one, I could not help but noticed no one actually admits to falling in any of these categories! As a serving Christian, I can describe myself as one with many flaws, even though I am seen to others as always doing the right thing.
After reading Galatian 5 I had to do a self-evaluation, where I use to blame others for their behaviour I am now thinking that I may have contributed to creating the problems based on my reaction or overzealousness, possible obsessive behaviour, pride or lacking self-control which can lead to provocation. these are contributing factors that cause conflicts amongst our family members & peers. let's pray Gal 5: 22- 25

1 Peter 1:7-25
1 Peter 3:18
Galatians 5:17-26
I hope that's helpful
James 1:5

LOVE is the key fruit here. The other 8 fruits ripples from the first fruit.

The 9 fruits mentioned are the fruits of the holy spirit. if we have the spirit of god living in us, we must give him the preeminence to reign over our life/body. we must not grieve ( ephesians 4:30) or quench (1 thes 5:19) him.

"the longer we serve him the sweeter he grows the more that we love him more love he bestowed"

I find that self control and all the attributes of the Fruit of the Spirit Galatians 5:22-23 are supported by the infilling and indwelling of the Holy Spirit who is our advocate, teacher and concillor without which life gets in the way. He also, guides you in keeping everything focused on the promise of Sake ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you. The gospel is pretty straightforward when we abide in Him and He in us, John 15:5-7. God, How I pray that we can get to the 1000 year reign sooner than later and truly live life.

But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance:
The fruit of the spirit: although it consists of nine different words,
it is counted as one, and not many.
Why is it that way?
When we begin to read what the fruit of the Spirit is,
Paul is not naming different kinds of Fruits, that the Spirit gives.
Instead he is describing the different characteristics of the grace that
is working in us.
Amen!

I use Galations 5:22 and 23, as a test for me, in relationships and experiences, especially when dealing with family. We can not lead, where we do not walk. As a radio operator calls in heavy artillery when the battle rages against us by the enemy of our souls, so must we remain in conscious prayer for our own responses and standing,to be effective in our service, as, Christian, to all.

My dear works alone don't save anyone, neither does faith alone. Grace is what saves, but a person is saved by grace through faith Ephesians 2:8 . And how does one knows that one is truly a partaker of grace through faith? By one's works. Faith without works is dead, Works alone won't get anyone into Heaven, but no one will be in Heaven who didn't have "faith which WORKS by love." Galatians 5:6

My dear, works don't save anyone by itself , neither does faith by itself . Grace is what saves, but a person must lay hold of grace by faith. And how is it one knows that a person is, through faith, a true partaker of grace? By their works. Faith without works is dead. Works won't take anyone to Heaven, but no one will be in Heaven who didn't have "faith which WORKS by love." Galatians 5:6

It exposes the lies we tell each other regarding the sins we commit. No sin is okay and another is wrong. Jehovah abhors all sin regardless of man's acceptance and practices! His doctrines will not change. Be you, drunkard, homosexual, liar, thief, pedophile, murderer or indulgent in other sins, you are against God and can not enter into heaven! People saying otherwise are fools for Satan!

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith..... What is your interpretation of longsuffering??

I know, but if Jesus himself says follow the commandments if you want eternal life. Secondly, you quoted that Jesus died on the cross for our sins rejects Galatians 5:6 where it says every man shall bear his burden responsible for his deeds, sins .

there was a between these statements. people run here and there looking, running well. but if you run the wrong direction, what hinders you? Satan leads us down the wrong path. truth leads us the right way.

Ye did run well who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?

Kevin Pfaunmiller, read from the KJV Bible these scriptures, Matthew 5:28 Leviticus 7:15 18:6 1 John 2:16 James 1:14-15 Galatians 5:16. Lust is mentioned 19 times in the King James Bible.

scriptures the married women paster had mentioned, it was about giving 2 others building up the community that she lived in. also using her paychecks 2 help others so they can grow up. she was teaching 2 not think that she was above others in her community but she felt she was there 2 serve. she discussed every part of galatians how she used it to help serve her community.

My brother is going through the same thing that I went through in 2013. Although his addiction is slightly worse than mine was with a different drug, it s all the same. This chapter brings it all into perspective, with my new outlook on life.I hope my brother is able to push through with the help of his family and friends, Amen

this a very wonderful scripture. nowadays, believers don't bear fruits because sin has centre stage their lives. we are living ungodly lives. how can God reign where there is sin. the is clear verse 25. if we live in the Spirit let us also also walk in the Spirit.

Amen praise the Lord

Revellings? Our people today are full of drunkenness, revellings. We need to be sober

As Christ Died To Make Men Holy, Let Us Live To Make Men Free While Gods Truth Is Marching On!

Being led of the Spirit means that you have no license for self-serving behavior. It does mean that the Holy Spirit within is listing to war against the works of the flesh. You must take up arms in the battle of love and holiness

One that Looked Good and now babbling about no oxygen from smoking all them cigarettes hoping to find The Fountain of Youth: There's no Such fountain / There is a Fountain at The Cross, Where All Can be Made New( 2 Corinthians 5:17) Works of The Flesh( Galatians 5:19-21) Thou Shall Not Suffer a Witch to Live( Exodus 22:18)

I have attained some of the fruits of the spirit through prayer.One must put on armor to defend ourselves from the sins of the flesh. coming from all directions and facets of life.I have seen both sides being a bit of a fencesitter but Jesus is the Truth and the only way.

God is love give God the glory

We want to use our free will to serve Jehovah God and do the things pleasing to him.

For Brethen ye have called unto Liberty. Only not use Liberty in all occasions to the flesh but by love serve one another. Thank you Jesus for your love and mercy help me Jesus to forgive and forget for you my Jehovah is Love remove any hatred that sometimes played in my mind let your Holy Spirit cleanse me oh Lord for you are the one who made me victorious deliver us from the defeated enemy amen

Nichole: Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are Justified by The Law; ye are Fallen from Grace. Galatians 5:4
