Unburdened: Paul's Letter to the Galatians

As Galatians closes, from the sweeping overview of the Christian life we saw in Galatians 5:13-26, Galatians 6 presses that vision down into the details. What does true spirituality look like down in the details? Doing good to everyone, especially to those of the household of faith.

If you’ve ever been on the receiving end of someone else’s harshness, you know it doesn’t feel good. Yet we find ourselves feeling harsh toward others. As we continue our study of the fruit of the Spirit, though, we find that gentleness is a fruit of the Spirit.

As we continue our study of the fruit of the Spirit, we come to what is likely the least popular today: faithfulness, the quality of being trustworthy and reliable, making and following through on commitments.

In the Christmas season, we’re often excited to give gifts, but we’re also excited to receive gifts. We know generosity is good, but we often consume not only gifts, but other people. It is good news, then, that Spirit works in us kindness and goodness.

The fourth fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22 is patience. It is what enables the first three fruits of the Spirit (and really all of them) to continue, and even sometimes grow, during hardship.

Throughout the book of Galatians, we hear the good news that Christ has set us free, and the exhortation to not return again to a yoke of slavery (Gal 5:1). But what should we then do with our freedom? That’s the question this text answers.

Christ has set us free, but not every impulse we have, if we act on it, leads us into greater freedom. Some enslave us again! So we must stand firm in the freedom we have in Christ.

We are often prone to be too defensive, but there is an appropriate, and even necessary place for self-defense. Paul engages in it here for the sake of preserving the gospel.

In America free speech is a high value, but we all recognize on some level that not all speech is helpful for us to listen to. How do we know what speech we shouldn’t listen to? In this passage, we see that we shouldn’t listen to speech that is contrary to the gospel.
