As we continue our series "The Holy Spirit and His People", Tony Finch spoke to us from Galatians 6:16-26, "Live by the Spirit".

1. Galatians 5: 16-25

2. HOW WE ONCE LIVED AND HOW
WE NOW LIVE
 A conflict, a tension.
 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit,
and the Spirit was is contrary to the sinful nature. They
are in conflict with each other, so that you do not know
what you want. (Verse 17)

3. THE LAW CANNOT CONTROL
OR CHANGE OUR OLD
NATURE
 It is not law on the outside but love on the inside.
 Not simply a divine influence but a Divine Person
 We cannot simply will to overcome the flesh.

4. THE SOLUTION
 Not to pit the will against the flesh but to
surrender our will to the Spirit.
 What you feed grows; what you starve dies.
 Do not dwell on the seeds that Satan sows but
feed on the Word of God.

5. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE OLD
NATURE
Sensual sins.
Superstitious sins.
Social sins.

6. I HAVE SINNED – AM I THEN
DISQUALIFIED FROM ENTERING
THE KINGDOM OF GOD?

7. I HAVE SINNED – AM I THEN
DISQUALIFIED FROM ENTERING
THE KINGDOM OF GOD?
 Those who LIVE like this will not enter the Kingdom of
God.
 Those who PRACTICE these things.
 Not an act of sin but a habit of sin.

8. THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
 Fruit grows out of life not out of works – the life of the
Spirit within.
 Work has to do with effort, labour, strain and toil.
 Fruit has to do with love, joy, peace, patience, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
 The beautiful graces of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

9. THE BEAUTIFUL GRACES OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR LIVES.
 Changing us from glory to glory into the likeness of Jesus!
 The legalist might be able to boast that he is not guilty of
adultery or murder – but can anyone see the beautiful
graces of the Holy Spirit in his life?

12. EXODUS 33:16
 “What else will distinguish me and your people from all
the other people on the face of the earth?”
