Galatians 05:19-26 Works or Fruit? Flesh or Spirit?

In this study:

  • Why did Paul call the list of verses 22 and 23 the “fruit of the Spirit” instead of the “works of the Spirit?”
  • How does the image of a locomotive climbing a mountain help understand the difference between legalism and true Christianity?
  • What are the works of the flesh?
  • Why have many godly people, including Jesus and Paul, been accused of the work of the flesh called “dissensions” or “divisiveness?”
  • What is the fruit of the Spirit?
  • How has Satan deceived lost people about joy?
  • How can part of the fruit be “self-control” if it is really “Spirit-control?”
  • Why does Paul use the singular form of “fruit?”

Stay in the battle!
