Sermon Notes 6-22-14AM

HIS STORY AFFECTS OUR LIFE  Part B

Galatians  5:16-18

THEME:  GOD transforms us into the image we are beholding 

TRUTH THAT WE MUST KNOW: Transformation is not constant; it is proportional to our beholding, which is often intermittent at best

Warning:  If we are not careful in our “walk in the Spirit,” we learn a few truths and feel we have a handle on His life

I.  THE SPIRIT LEADS CONTRARY TO THE FLESH

A.  The Spirit directs one’s earthly conduct

B.  The Spirit depresses one’s evil cravings in life 

            1.  THE STRUGGLE 

            2.  THE STATEMENT 

II.  THE CHARACTERISTICS OF FAILURE SEEN IN THE FLESH

III. THE CHARACTERISTICS OF FRUIT SEEN IN THE SPIRIT

In the New Testament three attitudes are described:

1.          Submissiveness to the will of God

2.         Teachableness

3.          Consideration of others
