Galatians 5 – The Listening Plan

Devotional

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

– Galatians 5:19-23

What characterizes your life? The life of the flesh, or the life of the Spirit? Because of God’s grace and forgiveness, the works of the flesh are no doubt evident in your past (i.e. your life before Christ). But the future should be the fruit of the Spirit.
