How to Overcome Sin & Bear Fruit | Eric Gilmour [Galatians 5]

The Bible teaches us how to live free from sin & walk like JESUS in Galatians 5:16-25 we see three keys that help us understand the spiritual life

    that is living in victory over sin and     becoming like JESUS v.25 there's this     interesting statement Paul says

    if we live by the SPIRIT

1.] Awareness of SPIRIT's Presence

This is life received on the inside, this is being born again; he who has the SON, has life.

If you don't have the SPIRIT, you are none of HIS —it is the SPIRIT coming in on the inside born of HIS SPIRIT washed in HIS blood.

    This SPIRIT gives life & so if we have that     conviction, the SPIRIT bears witness with     my SPIRIT that I'm a child of GOD.

    that I live by the SPIRIT that knowing that     conviction knowing that I have been born     from above.

He says if you have that, he says then walk by the SPIRIT—he actually says in v.16 as well

if you walk by the SPIRIT you will not carry out the desires of the flesh which shows us some- thing that you've been born from above, and the SPIRIT lives on the inside.

That is the convicting presence of CHRIST.

The presence of the SPIRIT in your life, HE says: if you live by walking is a term used in Scripture for your life. John says I have no greater joy than to see my children walking in the truth.

It has to do with the way you live your life, so Paul is saying you have a conviction that you've been born from above—live in that conviction of HIS presence.

     if you live/walk by the SPIRIT you will      not gratify the desires of the flesh or      carry out the desires of the flesh which      shows us the desires of the flesh is to      walk your life by a lack of awareness      of the presence of the ONE WHO is      inside of you

So if you live by the SPIRIT & you don't walk by the flesh, you will carry out the desires of the SPIRIT—so live by the SPIRIT.

     Stay in that living by the SPIRIT, by      walking aware of the presence      you are convicted by is in you..

     by being born again

2.] New Covenant Freedom From Law

Praise GOD & then lastly he says if you are led by the SPIRIT, you are not under the Law which obviously under the Law means required to keep these commandments.

If you break them, there's a curse upon you that's been eradicated by the new covenant —which is the covenant of the SPIRIT

HE puts HIS SPIRIT in our hearts.

This is the new covenant, but even more so the new covenant of the SPIRIT makes us above the Law

—which means you don't just not envy, you don't just not lie, you don't just not commit adultery..

You don't have those things in your heart any more—in other words your heart is living above those things.

   •  It's such a higher degree    •  It's a newness of life

This is being like CHRIST because the SPIRIT of CHRIST—on the inside of you, is causing these things.

Love & joy not just theologically actually, experientially love & joy & peace & patience

This comes from being led by the SPIRIT which has to do with yielding to the internal guidance & impressions of the presence you're aware of

   •  that you've been born again by

3.] Three Ingredients for Victory

So three things the Bible shows us about living in victory over sin, and walking like JESUS if you live by the SPIRIT—that conviction you've been born again from above:

[a] walk by that conviction

[b] walk by that awareness of HIS presence       & we will not carry out the desires of       the flesh & lastly

[c]  yield to all the impressions of that       new nature on the inside of you & you'll       live above the Law with love/joy/peace       & patience/goodness/kindness/faithful       -ness/gentleness & self-control

The Bible teaches us how to live in victory over sin & like CHRIST again we're all growing in this

We all desire to walk this way.

So may grace come upon us to live this out & not just know it—but actually to have its reality in our lives by the person of the SPIRIT having all of our attention.

    us yielding ourselves to HIM that's the key

This is the spiritual life

GOD bless you guys

Galatians 5:16-25 | Keeping Your Nose Clean ¹⁶ So I say, walk by the SPIRIT, & you will not gratify desires of the flesh. ¹⁶ But I say, walk by the SPIRIT, & you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

¹⁷ For the desires of the flesh are against the SPIRIT, & the desires of the SPIRIT are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.

¹⁸ But if you are led by the SPIRIT, you are not under the Law. ¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, and rivalries, dissensions, divisions, ²¹ envy, drunken- ness, orgies, & things like these.

I warn you, as I warned you before, those who do such things will not inherit the Kingdom of GOD.

²² But the Fruit of the SPIRIT is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

²⁴ And those who belong to CHRIST JESUS have crucified the flesh with its passions & desires.

²⁵ If we live by the SPIRIT, let us also    keep in step with the SPIRIT.

Be An Overcomer Through the Holy Ghost!

“For we know the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.” Romans 7:14 Being an overcomer of sin through the Holy Ghost is like a lifeguard saving a struggling swimmer from drowning; the Holy Ghost can come to our rescue if we seek Him and rely on His power to help us overcome our sins. Through sin, our lives can become cluttered with various difficulties that seem insurmountable. But…

I have a germ of a theory that good Christian fiction has stories that are less about shaving down your personality to meet some specific mold of what a good Christian looks like, and more about "how gloriously different are all the saints."

Not that the Christian life doesn't involve fighting against our own sinful nature and conforming ourselves to Christ-like behavior, but I think it makes for better, more realistic, and more universal stories when you also recognize that people have different gifts and flaws and they're going to be called to use their unique personalities to serve the kingdom of God in their own unique way, instead of assuming everyone has to conform themselves to a very specific (often secular-culturally based) image of good behavior. It makes for a much more vibrant story.

#catholic things #books #i'm still ruminating on charlotte yonge #because i usually contrast modern christian fiction with how the classics incorporated christianity #but she's the first classic victorian author i've found that i'd describe as writing christian fiction #which makes for a more direct comparison #she did handle religion in some very good ways #but i tried another of her books after 'heir' #and it reminded me of what i didn't like about the childhood section of 'heir' #but magnified a lot #she wants to show her children overcoming flaws #but she has a very narrow english anglo-catholic view of goodness #and that means her idea of christianity can come across as very judgemental and narrow-minded #things that are not actually sins in and of themselves are treated as moral failings inherent to other cultures #and the kids spend so much time worrying about cutting out sin that you don't get to see enough of their unique personality #i'd be willing to try more from her but i think i'd have to stick to the stories about adult characters

There is a somewhat infuriating person who keeps coming up on our fyp, who firmly believes that no person should ever be allowed to cover up hateful tattoos, and that any tattoo artist who does so is an awful person. Because to him they deserved to wear the mark of what they were forever, to never find community or healing or the chance to make a positive change in the world around them.

I will likely never interact with this man, but it is always tempting to ask;

At what point does sin stain a soul forever? At what point is someone truly, irrevocably irredeemable? At what point do they cease to be a human, a creature capable of change and good? At what point did you decide that punishing the stained and irredeemable was worth the cost of trying to make the world better?

It is always punishment. Some idea of righteous sadism that outweighs the fact that the past is the past and will always be the past and the future can always be better, so long as it is there to change.

Pragmatically, this approach does nothing but make you edge closer to the people who think mere existence is the sin that stains the body the soul the blood. To the people that believe ‘criminal’ is a state of being rather than circumstance. To the very type of sin you say is incurable.

Anyway. Anger without focused intent towards positive change is, as the kids say, cringe.

#of; soleil #the use of the word sin is intentional and designed to hearken to christianity #but be aware that is not the path i am on #non rebloggable because the rest of the system have no intent towards Entering The Discourse again #i was simply overcome with The Urge and figured i might as well post the word-vomit for other eyes

Manifesting Mischief: A Playful Look at the 7 Deadly Sins through the Lens of the Law of Attraction

Unlocking Your Potential: Transforming Sins into Strengths with Self-Discovery and Manifestation Last week, while I was on a car journey with my friends while going to Porto, I was recounting how my hairdresser had decided to make me look ridiculous by giving me a dreadful fringe and miserably destroying my beautiful long hair. I complained to my friends, revealing to them that I am aware of…

“God has defeated Satan through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Through this overwhelming victory, God has also empowered you to overcome any temptation to sin and has provided sufficient resources for you to respond biblically to any problem of life. By relying on God’s power and being obedient to His Word, you can be an overcomer in any situation.” - John Broger

We give in immediately. We have no power over our eyes, tongues, thoughts, or affections; instead, we let sin pass in and out. How soon we are overcome by evil, whereas we are supposed to overcome evil with good. How many good purposes are stuck in birth, and have no strength to come forth. All of this shows that we are nothing without the Spirit of Christ.

The MESSIAH: Hope of the Nations | BibleProject

In this video on the MESSIAH, we explore the mysterious promise on page three of the Bible, that a promised deliverer would one day come to confront evil & rescue humanity.

We trace this theme thru the family of Abraham the messianic lineage of David, and ultimately to JESUS who defeated evil by letting it defeat HIM.

Jon: There's this crazy story at the beginning of the Bible we have Adam & Eve & they in there in the Garden of Eden.

Tim: & everything in the garden is great exactly is it should be except there's this one tree that they're told by GOD not to eat from because it's dangerous & it will kill them.

Jon: So just avoid this fruit tree & we are fine?

Tim: Right, it seems pretty simple.

But in this garden there's a snake & it starts telling a different story. It says that if you eat of this tree it is not going to kill you in fact it's going to make you become like GOD.

Jon: & Adam & Eve, they believe the snake..

Tim: & because of this the goodness of the garden is tragically lost and the evil and death enters into GOD's good world.

Jon: Now, why is there a talking snake in the garden?

I mean this thing is a problem.

Tim: Yeah, it is very strange, & even more strange is the fact that the Bible doesn't say why or how this thing even got there.

It simply presents the snake as this creature who's in rebellion against GOD and wants to get other people to doubt GOD's goodness & lead them on a path toward death.

And so whatever this snake is, it's the source of evil pervades our world & our lives still today

Jon: But there is some hope because right here in the story GOD makes this interesting promise to Adam & Eve.

Tim: That someone is going to come in the future, a son of Eve, & this GUY is gonna come & is gonna crush serpent's head & destroy evil at its source.

& during this battle the serpent is going to bite this GUY's heel.

Jon: So it's like I'm mutual destruction

Tim: Yes. It is a strange & beautiful promise & just hanging there until the next key moment…

…when GOD singled out this guy named Abraham & says that through his family goodness & blessing is going to be restored back to all of the nations in the world & as we follow this family to one of Abra- ham's great-grandsons, this guy named Judah.

And he receives this promise that a King is going to come from his line & that the whole world is going to follow this King, & HE's going to bring peace & harmony & there will be lots of food & wine & milk in vineyard & it's going to be awesome.

Jon: The first King that we meet from the line of Judah is a guy named King David and he's a hero maybe he is the Snake Crusher

Tim: But it turns out that David is infected with the same evil as the rest of humanity.

He never crushes the snake just the opposite.

However GOD makes a promise to David that this KING is eventually coming from his line.

But as you go on in the story one by one each generation of his sons they're just total chump they give in to the snake, choose evil and go after money/sex/power & following idols.

Jon: Things get so bad that they run the nation of Israel right into the ground and the big bad Empire of Babylon just takes them out.

Tim: So now there are no more Kings to even fulfill this promise.

Jon: So seems like the whole plan is lost.

Tim: But during these dark days there's these crazy group of guys called Prophets and they kept talking about this coming KING — and reminding us of the promise HE will come HE will defeat evil & restore the garden.

........................................................................................... Now one specific profet Isaiah—he tells us more about why this KING is bitten Isaiah says "The promised KING receives this wound because of humanity's evil, & that it kills HIM. ...........................................................................................

But then all of a sudden HE comes back & Isaiah says that is because HE suffered this wound that HE can now become a source of healing to other people.

Jon: But the OT ends & the snake crushing KING that everyone's been talking about never shows..

Tim: And that is why when the NT begins it introduces us to JESUS of Nazareth not as some random guy but as SOMEONE WHO comes to fulfill specific ancient promises.

Jon: Yeah, we learn that HE's from the line of David, Judah, & Abraham.

Tim: And HE goes around Israel announcing that the goodness of GOD's Kingdom is here now and HE begins confronting the affects of evil on people by healing them by forgiving their sins & evil.

Jon: Many people are now believing that this is in fact the promised KING

........................................................................................... Tim: But JESUS began telling HIS closest followers HE was going to become KING & bring peace by taking the full effect of humanity's evil into HIMSELF. ...........................................................................................

Jon: That fatal snake bite wound.

Tim: So it seems like the serpent wins & this story actually would be a tragedy except for what happens next.

JESUS rises from the dead.

Jon: Now JESUS has the power over evil and death for HIMSELF.

........................................................................................... Tim: So the rest at the NT is then making this claim that JESUS' power over evil & death has now become available to us to begin confront the effects evil in our own lives. ...........................................................................................

Jon: But even still, death and evil are a real problem in our world all around us.

Tim: So the story of the Bible ends by describing this future day when JESUS comes back and HE finishes the job.

HE destroys the snake once & for all, and HE restore goodness at the garden here on Earth

The ongoing battle against avoiding sin

The ongoing battle against avoiding sin

Although believers are victorious in Messiah, the reality of living for him is a real conflict every day. Matthew 5:29 – “If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into Gehenna. Yeshua is speaking here of the extreme vigilance with which we must guard our spiritual…
