Galatians Series# 9, Chp. 6 — Let’s Get Practical

Adding anything to Jesus in order to be accepted by God threatens the very freedom of the church.
Galatians 2:21 “I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.”
Galatians 5:4 “…you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.”

Galatian 5:16-26
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; … Now the works of the flesh are evident … But the fruit of the Spirit is love, … If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”

John 15:1-6  “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit … Abide in Me, and I in you …If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out …”

“takes away” (Airo) :— to raise up, elevate, lift up, to raise from the ground, take up,to raise upwards, elevate, to take upon one’s self and carry what has been raised up…
“Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He lifts from dirt …” Elevates,turns your face to Him.
PICTURE OF GRAPE VINES!!!

Romans 8:9  “But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.”        

1 John 2:5-6  “But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.”
Galatians 5:25  “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”

1 John 3:9  “Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.”
Our imperfections are hidden in His perfection we carry His sinless DNA. Jesus didn’t sin and won’t ever sin.

Starting at end. Galatians 6:18 “Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.”
May His power motivate you.   Not performance or a program it is personal.
You have it right when you’ve moved from got to, to get to.

Galatians 6:17
“From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.” (NKJV)
“Quite frankly, I don’t want to be bothered anymore by these disputes.” (Message)
“On my own body are scars that prove I belong to Christ Jesus. So I don’t want anyone to bother me anymore.” (CEV)

Galatians 6:16
“And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.”
Romans 2:29
“…but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.”

Galatians 6:11-15
“But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world … but a new creation.”
There is no personal boasting.   It’s all about the cross!!!   It’s not a personal renovation it is a miracle of re-creation!

Galatians 6:15-16 (Message)
“It is not what you and I do—submit to circumcision, reject circumcision. It is what God is doing, and he is creating something totally new, a free life! All who walk by this standard are the true Israel of God—his chosen people. Peace and mercy on them!”

Galatians 6:7-10
“For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.”
If you keep on giving in to the negative you will wreck you life. Operate out of the Spirit and your life will be extraordinary. Good Advice and Good News

Galatians 1:6
“Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.”
1 Corinthians 9:11
“If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things?”
Practical:—If you don’t we can’t

Philippians 1:5  (AMP)
“[I thank my God] for your fellowship (your sympathetic cooperation and contributions and partnership) in advancing the good news (the Gospel) from the first day [you heard it] until now.”

2 Corinthians 9:6-8
“He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver…”
      “…And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.”
I completely trust God!   Faith is love driven … Duty is will power driven.

Galatians 6:1-5 (AMP)
“Brethren, if any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, you who are spiritual [who are responsive to and controlled by the Spirit] should set him right and restore and reinstate him, without any sense of superiority and with all gentleness, keeping an attentive eye on yourself, lest you should be tempted also.
2 Bear (endure, carry) one another’s burdens and [troublesome moral faults, and in this way fulfill and observe perfectly the law of Christ   (John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another)  (the Messiah) and complete what is lacking [in your obedience to it].
3 For if any person thinks himself to be somebody [too important to condescend to shoulder another’s load] when he is nobody [of superiority except in his own estimation], he deceives and deludes and cheats himself.
4 But let every person carefully scrutinize and examine and test his own conduct and his own work. He can then have the personal satisfaction and joy of doing something commendable [[c]in itself alone] without [resorting to] boastful comparison with his neighbor.
5 For every person will have to bear (be equal to understanding and calmly receive) his own [little] load [of oppressive faults].”   

“overtaken” (prolambanō) :— to take by surprise; be taken unexpectedly.
“trespass” (paraptōma) :— a stumbling aside, a false step.
“spiritual” (pneumatikos) :— of persons, gifted with a spiritual frame of mind, spiritually affected.
“restore” (katartizō) to restore to a forfeited condition, to reinstate.
