The works of the flesh are obvious | Galatians 5:19-21 | Guided Bible Meditation

A meditation on what sin looks like. Paul gives a laundry list of things that are obviously not from God. The flesh seeks self gratification, the divine seeks to serve. Galatians 5:19-21  Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

The Spirit is Not Under the Law | Galatians 5:18 | Guided Bible Meditation

Meditation on the fact that the Holy Spirit supercedes the law. The Law was for humans. The Spirit isn't human but an incredible extension of the Father's love given by Jesus dying on the cross. We no longer need the law when we are by the Spirit letting God have dominion over our lives.

The Flesh and The Spirit are at Odds | Galatians 5:17 | Guided Bible Meditation

Meditation on the reality that the Spirit and the Flesh are at odds and prevent us from doing the things that we want to do. God sent the Helper to override our flesh but it is a moment by moment life with the Spirit that resolves this tension.

Walk by The Spirit | Galatians 5:16 | Guided Bible Meditation

Meditation on how to not gratify your sinful nature by walking with the Spirit. The Christian life isn't a sprint, or a marathon, it's learning to constantly commune with God the Father through the Spirit.

Stop Fighting Over Theology Before It's Too Late | Galatians 5:15 | Guided Bible Meditation

Meditation on fighting over legalism versus using freedom to gratify the flesh. Arguments and in-fighting will consume the body of Christ if not kept in check.
