Galatians Wk21

Identifying the Two Natures                          Gal 5:19-23 
¡    There is An Unmistakable Contrast
¡    Flesh Produces Works
¡    Spirit Produces Fruit 
¡    The Works of the Flesh
¡    Works-A Plural Verb
¡    The Sin Nature is Unchanged in the Believer
¡    Scripture Calls That Condition A Carnal Believer (Rom 8:5-6 & 1 Cor 3:3)
¡    are manifest-Known to God and to Man
¡    Sexual Sins
¡    Adultery-Pre-marital & Extra-marital Sexual Intercourse
¡    Can Be Committed by Both Married and Unmarried
¡    No Surprise, One of the 10 Commandments (Ex 20:14)
¡    Jesus Extended the Sin From its Activity to its Attitude (Matt 5:28)
¡    Fornication (porneia)-General Word for Any Sexual Sin
¡    Uncleanness-Moral Impurity, Especially a Filthy Mind
¡    Lasciviousness-Absence of Moral Restraint
¡    Religious Sins
¡    Idolatry-Whatever Moves God From First Place
¡    Pagan Deities in Visual Form
¡    Serving Demons (1 Cor 10:19-20)
¡    Witchcraft (pharmakeia)-Astrology, Magical Arts, and Demonic Worship
¡    Attitude Sins
¡    Hatred (echthrai)-A Dislike of People
¡    Variance-Quarrels and Discord
¡    Emulations-Selfish Jealousy
¡    Wrath-White-Hot Anger
¡    Strife-Get Ahead at the Expense of Others
¡    Seditions-Literally, To Split in Two
¡    Heresies (haireseis)-Opinions Differing From Established Beliefs
¡    Envyings-Wrongly Desiring to Have Something Belonging to Another
¡    Social Sins
¡    Murders-Premeditated Killing of Another
¡    Drunkenness-Private & Public Intoxication by Alcohol
¡    Revellings- Riotous Conduct & Drunken Festivals
¡    and such like: Not Exhaustive (Rom1:29-31; Mk 7:21-22; 1Tim 1:9-10; 2 Tim 3:2-5)
¡    Judgment for These Works
¡    told you in time past-On the First Missionary Journey
¡    which do such things- Continually or Habitual Practice
¡    shall not inherit the kingdom of God-Not Saved (Eph 5:4-5; 1 Jn 3:6, 8 & 10) 
¡    The Fruit of the Spirit
¡    But-The Contrast
¡    Works Are From Self; Fruit From the Spirit
¡    Works Show What You Do; Fruit Shows What You Are
¡    Works Show Conduct; Fruit Shows Character
¡    Work Emphasizes Doing; Fruit Emphasizes Being
¡    Fruit-Singular Verb; One Fruit, Nine Qualities
¡    of the Spirit-The Source of the Fruit Bearing (Jn 15:5 & Phil 1:21)
¡    Inward Qualities
¡    Love-Sacrificial Love (agape)
¡    Joy- Rejoicing in Doing the Will of God
¡    Peace-Inner Assurance that God is in Control
¡    Outward Qualities
¡    Longsuffering (makrothumia)-Literally, Long Burning
¡    Gentleness-Grace in Action
¡    Goodness-Honesty of Motive and Conduct
¡    Upward Qualities
¡    Faith-Believes God
¡    Meekness-Power Under Control
¡    Temperance-Self Control  
¡    Conclusion
¡    against such there is no law-The Law Never Prohibited Expressions of the Spirit
¡    The Law was Given to Restrain the Works of the Flesh
¡    The Law Can’t Provide the Power & Motivation to Produce Fruit (Rom 8:1)
