Built Different

Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,

kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The law is

not against such things.” (CSB)

1. Healthy fruit comes from deep roots.

“For every look at yourself, take ten looks at Christ.” - Robert

Murray M’Cheyne

2. You are only as mature as your most immature fruit.

Galatians 5:22 “But the fruit of the Spirit is...”

3. Walking in the Spirit is the way to avoid the lusts of the

flesh, not vice versa.

Galatians 5:16: “I say then, walk by the Spirit and you will certainly

not carry out the desire of the flesh.”

● The flesh works to sabotage the good that God’s Spirit and our

spirit desire for us.

Galatians 5:17 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.

● What comes easily to us is rarely good for us.

Galatians 5:19-21 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.

Romans 7:24–25a

What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?

25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!

Galatians 5:16 “I say then, walk by the Spirit and you will certainly not

carry out the desire of the flesh.”

Galatians 5:22-25

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.

25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.
