Read and Discuss
Galatians 5:16-21
16 I say, then, walk by the Spirit and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don’t do what you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, moral impurity, promiscuity, 20 idolatry,sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, 21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and anything similar. I am warning you about these things—as I warned you before—that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
- Why don’t the Spirit and the flesh mix?
- Does this mean our bodies are bad? Why or why not?
- How do you know if you are walking and being led by the Spirit?
- When you feel like the Lord is saying something to you, how do you discern if it really is the Lord speaking?
- We’ve looked at verses 19-21 for the past few weeks. What are some ways the world honors those things?
- How can you make sure that you aren’t practicing those things?
Galatians 5:22-24
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. The law is not against such things. 24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
