Gal 5:13-26

• freed but in control; serve
• the entire law summed up in one: Love your neighbor as yourself;
• Spirit vs. the "sinful nature"
• they oppose each other
• mutually exclusive
• we probably cannot get rid of our sinful nature all together, but we can counter it with the Spirit--if and when we live by the Spirit;
• live by the Spirit -> keep in step with the Spirit (v25);
  
• on a cross-road: follow our "feelings" or the Spirit?
  
• the "fruit" of the Spirit (LJ-PPK-GFGS):
• Love
• Joy
• Peace
• Patience
• Kindness
• Goodness
• Faithfulness
• Gentleness
• Self-control
• crucify the "sinful nature" + its passions and desires;
