Cadence - Galatians 5:19-21 (2of 11)

Galatians 5:19-21 addresses the libertines in the Galatian churches and in our day, we're confronted with Paul's sobering list of the 'works of the flesh.' These 15 vices serve as a mirror, challenging us to examine our own lives and spiritual walks. The message emphasizes that true faith in Christ should produce visible change, reminding us that those who habitually practice such sins 'will not inherit the kingdom of God.' This isn't about losing salvation, but about evidence of genuine faith. As we reflect on this list, we're called to consider: Are we truly walking by the Spirit, or are we still enslaved to our flesh? The teaching beautifully balances the reality of our struggle against sin with the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. It's a call to vigilance in our spiritual lives, urging us to actively partner with the Spirit in the ongoing process of sanctification. This message isn't just about avoiding sin; it's an invitation to a deeper, more authentic relationship with God, where His Spirit empowers us to live in true freedom and holiness.
