Galatians 5:22-26 The Fruit of the Spirit...

Series: The Book of Galatians

July 10, 2016

Langdon Palmer

Ever had a neighbor that drove you absolutely nuts ? It is said that there are two kinds of people in the world - our friends and our teachers. Believe it or not, that crazy neighbor can help teach you an important lesson about the book of Galatians! In Galatians, Paul contrasts two very different lists - a list of the acts of our sinful nature and a list of the fruit that the Spirit of God produces in us. The difference between those two lists is the difference between self-centered misery and self-forgetful joy. Today we focus on the second list, the amazing, beautiful fruits of the Spirit and find out that we can't manufacture them ourselves, but we can be the farmers that till the soil so they can grow.
