Why Is Temptation So Hard to Resist as a Christian? (Galatians 5)

Send us Fan MailWhat if the Christian life was never meant to feel like a constant religious struggle?Galatians 5 gives one of the clearest pictures in Scripture of Christian freedom. But here’s what most people miss: freedom is not permission to serve the flesh, and holiness is not achieved by religious performance.In this teaching, David walks through Galatians 5 and shows how Paul connects freedom, faith, love, walking by the Spirit, and the fruit of the Spirit. The Christian life is not about trying harder to become free. It is about remembering where Christ has already placed us and learning to stand firm in that freedom.Key themes in this teaching:Christian freedom in Galatians 5Faith working through loveWalking by the SpiritThe works of the fleshThe fruit of the SpiritWhy temptation often comes from forgetting where we standWhy religious effort and sin are both forms of slaveryJoin the community: https://www.skool.com/estero-ekklesia-1658Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bible-in-order-podcast/id1733759063Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BibleInOrderSupport the mission: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2394920/support Support the show
