Without His Revelation Of Himself, we would never have faith in Him since, before conversion, we do not know the true God.

Galatians 5

Position Of Liberty: Stand Fast

1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

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

8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.

9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.

12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.

Practice Of Liberty: Love One Another

13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

Conflict Between The Spirit And The Flesh

16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Works Of The Flesh

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Works Of The Spirit

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.


Love, Walter And Debbie

as we can see , JESUS is not the ministir of sin .
notice what the works of the flesh are
verses the fruits of the Spirit . thus the total all out conclusion is
GOD GIVETH A NEW HEART . those who justify their sin and walk after the lusts o the flesh
WHERE IS THE PROOF OF THE SPIRIT . ever wonder why pual when writing also to the church in rome
said SHALL WE CONTINUE IN SIN that grace may abound . GOD FORBID . who we serve IS WHOSE we are .
IF any man has NOT the SPIRIT HE IS NONE OF HIS , aka HE IS NOT OF JESUS CHRIST
and that IF ONE has the SPIRIT , then the BODY is dead because o sin . THEY WONT BE LIVING IT UP IN SIN .
Ever wonder why he also wrote and said to the church of ephesus
THE FRUIT of the SPIRIT is in all goodness ,righteousness , truth , PROVING what is acceptable
to ..........................to whom , man or TO GOD . exactly . TO GOD . sin aint acceptable or ever has been or ever will
be ACCEPTABLE TO GOD .
FOR FINDING fault with them , HE said , I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT
in those days , I WILL WRITE , WRITE MY LAWS upon their heart and in their mind . NOTICE
it did not say I WILL APPROVE OF THEIR SIN and justifyi or honor their sin . NOPE .
LOVE dont trangress , IT FULLFILLS . AND HOW I WISH TO GOD folks UNDERSTOOD that .
