A few key points about living by grace...

Galatians 5:7-15Even a little false teaching can ruin

your walk and impact your future, both here and in eternity

Galatians 5:7What happened?

They were on track to rule with Christ 1 Cor. 9:24-27; Gal. 3:1

Galatians 5:8-9False teachers/teaching had ruined

their view of grace and therefore, their walk.

Galatians 5:10The false teachers would answer for it.

Galatians 5:11Biblical grace offends people

Galatians 5:12Paul wished those who distort grace were unable to spiritually reproduce

(Paul wanted to shock his readers into understanding the seriousness of the

issue)

Galatians 5:13We've been positionally set free - 5:1

We need to work to maintain and experience that.

Living by faith produces service to others.

Galatians 5:14If we want to please God we must love

others.

Legalism doesn't produce this.

Galatians 5:15Legalistic living produces a judgmental,

critical spirit.

It tears fellowships apart.

Legalistic thinking produces a form a spiritual cannibalism.

Grace is the only path to a genuinely spiritual life

individually and corporately.

Galatians 5:16"walk in the Spirit"

Gal. 2:20Living by faith

The opposite of living by the Law, in the flesh

Galatians 5:16Walking by faith in the Spirit as opposed to

a life lived in the flesh, by the Law.

We need to walk in a spiritual manner, by faith, rather than legalistically

Galatians 5:17"lusts" = "sets its desire against"

Romans 7

What one singer found in a relationship with another, the Bible finds between the flesh

and the Spirit...a battlefield.

Not extra-biblical, personal guidance from the Spirit.

Galatians 5:18"under the law" =

Not under the impulses of the flesh.

We can only please God by His method and His power.
