Deep dives
Freedom Through Honesty and Empowerment in Christ
Being free requires honesty and empowerment in Christ. Fighting hidden battles in darkness leads to defeat. Through prayer and repentance, the power of Christ brings liberation. Paul emphasizes freedom in Christ.
Legalism vs. Grace in Relationship to Faith
Legalism is countered by Paul highlighting justification by grace through faith alone. Sanctification is also emphasized through grace, not rules. Legalists in Galatia added rules to the Gospel, like circumcision.
Circumcision Symbolism in the Old Testament and Fulfillment by Christ
Circumcision symbolizes the covenant in the Old Testament. Paul explains the significance of why circumcision is not necessary post the cross. Christ's sacrifice fulfilled the Old Testament laws.
Walking in the Spirit vs. Flesh and the Battle Within
Walking in the Spirit involves stirring affections for the Lord and abstaining from fleshly desires. The fruits of the Spirit manifest when one abides in the Word. The battle within involves mortifying sin and cultivating the Spirit.
Empowering Spiritual Growth and Transformation in Christ
Spiritual growth and transformation occur through abiding in Christ. The power of Christ enables believers to bear fruit and overcome sin. Confession, repentance, and prayer lead to healing and empowerment in Christ.
You’ll never learn to be free until you learn to be honest with the Lord. Trying to fight the devil on your own is never going to work out. You need to take whatever it is that the enemy is trying to kill you with- that has been living and growing in the dark and drag into the light. Let Jesus do the work that He finished at the cross on that thing.
