Monday, March 19th - Galatians 5:13-26

Good Morning!

What a beautiful day it is going to be!  Yes, we might get some rain, but the temps are wonderful and we have Sonshine within us to shine on others - Jesus!  Won't you shine for Him today?

Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Galatians 5:13-26 ~ Following God's absolute truth sets you free from desiring to make sinful choices.  Living vv 19-21 pain and drama; vv 22-23= Beauty

Did you see the title of this passage?  "Life by the Spirit"  That pretty much sums it up!  Let's look at some of the phrases within this passage.  "You, were called to be free."  "Serve one another in love."  "Love your neighbor as yourself."  "Live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature." 

Verses 19 through 21 gives us a partial list of the things of the sinful nature.  They will bring pain and hurt and drama to life.  However, look at verses 22 and 23 - the fruit of the Spirit that lives within us!  These things will bring beauty, peace and contentment.  We all need to have these two verses memorized! 

Verses 24 and 25 too!  We have crucified the sinful nature - let us keep in step with the Spirit!  We are victorious in Christ Jesus!

Have a wonderful day!
