As God’s children, as we grow, we are expected to walk in the Spirit to fight the battle between the flesh and the Spirit.

Galatians 5:16-26: But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and […]

Only by walking by the Spirit can we win the battle against the works of our flesh. Galatians 5:16-21: But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not […]

Obeying the truth is believing His gospel of grace that we are saved not by any of our own works but by faith alone, Christ alone, and grace alone. Galatians […]

In any form, freedom has to be guarded; it must be protected. Christian freedom is no different. Galatians 5:1-6: For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit […]

To reach the God of the Bible, there is only one way through faith in Christ and grace alone. Galatians 4:12-20: Tell me, you who desire to be under the […]

All Christians are called to live a missional life so that others can experience personal, authentic relationships and come to Christ. Galatians 4:12-20: Brothers, I entreat you, become as I […]

We struggle to live life in freedom under grace because our natural inclination is to do works to try to earn God’s favor. 

Galatians 3:23-29: 23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. 24 So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we […]

Christ is not just another guru or prophet to direct us to a new and improved method of being good enough for God.

Galatians 3:15-22: Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was put in place […]

Galatians 3:15-22: To give a human example, brothers: even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified. Now the promises were […]

God wants every believer to regularly experience the power of the Spirit to the fullest to remain in, grow in, and become more like Christ. Galatians 3:1-5: O foolish Galatians! […]

We will never become sinless as long as we live in these bodies, but, in Christ, we will learn to sin less as justified sinners through the process of justification […]

Good works we do in obedience to God as a result of our justification should never be confused with the reason for our justification. Galatians 2:15-21: We ourselves are Jews […]

We need to learn to lean on Jesus’s justification in all situations and not our own justification based on good works and ethical code.

No matter where we are, our presence should oppose ungodly behaviors and attitudes to avoid self-condemnation. Sometimes it may mean opposing a fellow believer.

Paul shows the Galatians when not to yield their faith. Galatians 2:1-10: Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me. I […]

In Galatians 1:6-12, we find ways to test if you are deserting God, and how to be vigilant as you deal with small spiritual icebergs.

In Galatians, Paul responds to false teachers by providing a defense of the power of grace against reliance on following the law.

In Philemon, Paul offers a unique perspective on grace. Because we have received grace freely, we must offer grace freely to others.

In Philemon, Paul offers a unique perspective on grace. If we understand God’s undeserved forgiveness of us, we must extend grace to others also.

In Philemon, Paul offers a unique perspective on obedience. Do we put obedience to Christ first? Can others testify to that?

In Philemon, Paul offers a unique perspective on partnership. God does not force us to partner with him, but rather he invites us to share in the work of the Gospel, which does not discriminate.

In Philemon, Paul’s perspective on service shows us that agape love, not obligation or guilt, should motivate us to serve God and others.

The idea of Christian fellowship in the Bible necessitates mutual participation, contribution, and sharing of life and faith in all seasons whether joyful or painful.
