Title: Works of the Flesh
Fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23):
Love Joy
Peace Patience
Kindness Goodness
Gentleness Faithfulness
Self Control
John Stott's Daily Prayer:
"Holy Spirit, I pray that this day will fill me with yourself and cause your fruit to ripen in my life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self control"
Works of the Flesh (Gal. 5:19-21):
Sexual immorality Impurity
Sensuality Idolatry
Sorcery Enmity (hatred)
Strife (contention) Jealousy
Fits of anger Rivalries
Dissension Divisions
Drunkenness Orgies
Things like these
Knowledge + desire = justification for calling idolatry Christian freedom.
Spiritual maturity and godliness cannot coexist with the works of the flesh.
