This week’s message wrapped up our FRESH series on the Fruit of the Spirit by discussing Galatians 5:24. After teaching on the character virtues of the Spirit, Paul stresses that “against such things there is no law.” Author Christopher Wright explains it like this; “This kind of Christ-like character does not come from submitting to the law, but from submitting to Christ by faith, and living your life under the power and guidance of His Spirit.”
As the Jewish people’s population grew, they attempted to regulate their people through scribal law, often going far beyond what God intended or designed. Unfortunately, the law can not compel people to act a certain way, but by keeping in step with the Spirit and allowing the closeness to Him to transform us, we can continue to cultivate fruit and truly love one another as Jesus asked us to do. We hope this message does just that, helps you to KNOW the love of Jesus personally and then DISCOVER who He has called you to be and begin the journey of Loving others as you have been loved.
If you are in need of prayer, would you let us know? We would love to pray with you and for you as God continues to reveal His grace and truth to you in a real and powerful way!
