Devoted to God: Walking by the Spirit Vs. the Flesh (Gal. 5)

The moment you became a Christian, you stepped into a war zone. In this episode of our series on Sinclair Ferguson's "Devoted to God," we explore Chapter 5 and Paul's radical teaching: "Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." https://www.urcbelgrade.com/sermons-a... In This Video: Why every Christian is in spiritual warfare between flesh and spirit Understanding the two ages: Adam vs. Christ, death vs. life The Gospel pattern: Indicative (what God has done) then Imperative (how we respond) How holiness isn't about trying harder—it's about the Spirit's power Five practical principles for spiritual victory The 5 R's of Holiness: Recognize the battle - You're in spiritual warfare Remember who you are - You're filled with the Spirit, not stuck in the old life Realize your calling - God calls you to live by the Spirit Respond to the Spirit - Be sensitive to His leading Reap what you sow - Keep sowing to the Spirit, not the flesh Key Themes: Galatians 5 explained Flesh vs. Spirit warfare Christian sanctification Walking by the Spirit Practical holiness Fruit of the Spirit Reformed theology on sanctification Ferguson reminds us: Christian holiness isn't rooted in our effort but in what God has already done through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. You don't do this to earn God's favor. You have to remember that you're alive in Christ, therefore live for Christ. Warning: Some Christians make little progress because they become so focused on fighting the flesh that they lose sight of the Spirit. This leads to the tragedy of losingsight of Christ. It's only in Him that we find the resources to overcome our battle with sin. Remember: We're wounded soldiers who encourage each other onward and upward. We are Spirit-powered and Spirit-led people! Question for reflection: Are you trying to fight sin in your own strength, or are you walking by the Spirit's power?
