We are lightly studying through the book of Galatians as a family. These are just some thoughts I had while looking at chapter 3:26-4:7. Maybe they may be of interest to someone.
Galatians 4.6
Living by the Spirit is:
* Submitting to God's Law. Romans 8:7
* Putting to death the sinful deeds of the body. Romans 8:13
* Having a heart that calls out to the Fatherhood of God. Galatians 4:6
* Having a love that abounds, but that is controlled by depth of insight and knowledge. Philippians 1:9
* Discerning what is pure and blameless until Jesus comes back, or I die. Philippians 1:10
* Being filled with the fruit of righteousness. My life will be characterized by righteousness. Philippians 1:11
* Searching the Scriptures for Jesus with intensity and great care. 1 Peter 1:11
* Being filled with the fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23
* Putting to death, and crucifying my sinful passions and desires. Galatians 5:24
THE TEXT OF GALATIANS 3.26-4.7
* Becoming a son of God is through faith in Christ Jesus
* Through faith in Christ Jesus, we become sons of God.
* Any race, creed, color, or sex can become a son of God. There is no distinction.
* A son of God is also a child and heir of Abraham.
* The sign of baptism is closely linked with faith in Christ. It does not merit salvation but it is appropriate to speak in these terms while addressing believers.
