LESSON NO 1 “FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT” Gal 5:22-23 1. Themes of the Galatians: 1.1, Galatians is one of the most important writings of Paul in establishing the importance of Grace compared to the Law. Some Jewish Christians and false teachers believed that to be a Christian it is necessary to obey the Law of Moses along with the faith in Jesus. Paul corrects them all that the Faith in Jesus is sufficient for our salvation. 1.2, No Good news apart from Jesus weather Man or angel. Cursed is the one who brings the good news apart from Jesus. (Gal 1:6-9) 1.3, Our Christian life is the result of our faith in Christ by showing the fruit of the Holy Spirit not by obeying of the Law of Moses.
