"Led by the Spirit" [Galatians

Brian Rhodus discusses the teachings of Galatians 5:16-26, emphasizing the contrast between living by the Spirit and the flesh. He explains that the desires of the flesh are opposed to the Spirit, leading to sinful acts such as sexual immorality, idolatry, and anger. Conversely, the fruit of the Spirit includes love, joy, peace, and self-control. Rhodus stresses the importance of abiding in Christ to produce spiritual fruit and avoid the works of the flesh, which will not inherit the kingdom of God. He urges believers to resist selfish desires and live by the Spirit, fostering love, patience, and kindness within the community.
