Chapter 15, Part II - Galatians; Spiritual Living

Mark continues the series Galatians: A Letter of Grace, with Part II of Chapter 15, “Spiritual Living”. Today’s lesson covers Galatians 5:16–26. For context, the Apostle Paul, who wrote many of the books in the New Testament as letters, wrote the Book of Galatians as a letter to the Church of Galatia. Mark, picks up from last week, and covers two points: the “Spirit and Flesh Explained” (v5:17-19); and “The Evidence” (v5:20-26); and then asks [us] the question “What is Spiritual living?” Mark references other New Testament passages written by Paul in Romans (Romans (Rm) 5:5, Rm 8:4, Rm 8:14, Rm 8:6, and Rm 7:6), because the Holy Spirit was given to us from Christ Jesus, through God our Father. Paul understood there is a tension we live with between the Spirit and the Flesh. This was present then and is present now. By walking in the Spirit, we can put to death the flesh, and give root to the Fruit of the Spirit. We should aspire to walk by faith, and not by sight, and trust God in this journey.
