Gal. 5 - the flesh or the Spirit?•Growth in the Christian life is only possible by the Spirit•A Christian occupied by legalism and the flesh will fail•Christians who live in the flesh will not inherit the Kingdom•We can only inherit the Kingdom by walking in the Spirit

When a believer sows what is displeasing to God, he reaps
God's displeasure and the consequences it brings.

Christ involved.

Galatians 6:12-13

number of Galatians they
could win over

When we live our lives depending on the flesh...
...we never meet God's standards of righteousness.
We can not have eternal life, we do not produce the fruit of the Spirit, and we do not
have an eternal inheritance.
![Page 36: Let's review Theme: The gospel (good news) that justifies you is the gospel that brings growth -](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/56815a06550346895dc753b4/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Only by grace through faith...
1. ...are we declared righteous and receive the Spirit
2. ...do we walk in the Spirit and produce His fruit in our lives
3. ...do we build a better future as we walk in the Spirit
![Page 37: Let's review Theme: The gospel (good news) that justifies you is the gospel that brings growth -](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/56815a06550346895dc753b4/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The Hole in the Gospel?•Very good to challenge people to act consistent with the heart of God•Yet, very dangerous•To try to "fix" the gospel without first embracing the gospel is the surest way to fail on many levels
![Page 38: Let's review Theme: The gospel (good news) that justifies you is the gospel that brings growth -](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/56815a06550346895dc753b4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The Hole in the Gospel?•A hole is not filled by making it larger•We need the Spirit, we need to be justified, we need to realize our need•The cart operates properly when the horse is in front
![Page 39: Let's review Theme: The gospel (good news) that justifies you is the gospel that brings growth -](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/56815a06550346895dc753b4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The Hole in the Gospel?This concept challenges Paul's
major point in Galatians._____________________
We get eternal life, justification, and the Holy
Spirit by faith______________________
That is also how we grow______________________
![Page 40: Let's review Theme: The gospel (good news) that justifies you is the gospel that brings growth -](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/56815a06550346895dc753b4/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The Hole in the Gospel?
To minimize need and dependency is to minimize the gospel.
_______________________________
When I live by faith and do good works, it energizes me and what I believe. Encouraged
to live by faith, I do more works and so on.
![Page 41: Let's review Theme: The gospel (good news) that justifies you is the gospel that brings growth -](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/56815a06550346895dc753b4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
We have to start at the right place to play the
game!
Without grace there is no "Go"!
