Join Pastor JD Small for Part VI of our series First things First.
We all face the internal battle between who we want to be and who we sometimes become. In Galatians 5, Paul reveals the ongoing conflict between the flesh, life driven by our own desires, and the Spirit. The answer isn’t more rules or behavior modification, but transformation through the Holy Spirit. Paul contrasts the acts of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit, one unified character of Christ growing within us over time. Sanctification is a process, a pace of grace, where we simply keep walking in step with the Spirit as He changes us from the inside out.
