Day 30/60

This makes me half way through this bible challenge. It is taking me a lot longer then I should. I hope you guys are doing well too.

Galatians 5

vs 1 So many people burden themselves with things that we have no control. Do not be a slave to these things seek help from others and hand over your problems to God.

vs 2-6 the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. You do not need to perform a ritual to make yourself okay with God. It is about faith and love.

vs 7-8 What happened to you that took your eyes off the truth?

vs 9-12 Be careful what is taking you over. A small amount of yeast has a great affect on bread, just like people can have on your life.

vs 13-15 live in freedom. This is what we were called to be. But do not use your freedom to fall into temptation. Rather serve people in love. The law can be summed up in loving your neighbor. Do not tear each other up.

vs 16-18 Live by the Spirit and not your own sinful desire.

vs 19-21 Sinful nature- sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfishness, dissension, factions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, etc
-----Those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God---------

vs 22-23 Fruit of the Spirit
1. love
2. joy
3. peace
4. patience
5. kindness
6. goodness
7. faithfulness
8. gentleness
9. self control
live by these things

vs 24-25 kill the sinful nature, live by the Spirit. Walk the walk.
