Scripture: Galatians 5
The Human Condition:
|
Post-Fall/Pre-Torah (Gn. 6.5) |
Post-Torah/Pre-Pentecost (Dt 30, Gal. 3.23-24) |
Post-Pentecost/Pre-Resurrection (Gal. 5.16) |
|
(Child) |
(Child + Parent) |
(Mature Adult) |
|
Broken Moral Judgment/Will |
Broken Moral Judgment/Will |
New Creation/Regeneration |
|
No “Guardian” |
Guardian (Torah) |
A partner (Spirit) not a guardian (Torah) |
|
Self-destruction, enslaved to sin & in constant danger |
Protection and instruction, not free but not in danger |
Full Maturity - released to thrive |
Since we live by the Spirit…
- Do not return to a life dominated by sin (Gal. 5.16-17)
- Do not return to life under the law (5.18)
- Do walk in the freedom and power of the Spirit (5.24-25)
If we live by the Spirit, we will not only live free from the power of sin (19-21), we will live as partners in the redeeming work of God.
