Grow In Faith
Walking in the Spirit Galatians Pt. 22
In this week’s study of Galatians 5, we explore what it means to grow spiritually—why it’s often harder than we expect and how God transforms us through His Spirit. Many of us struggle with impatience in our faith, looking for quick fixes rather than embracing the slow, deep work of sanctification.
📖 Key Passage:
"Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." —Galatians 5:16
🔹 Key Insights:
✔️ Sanctification is a partnership—while justification is God’s work alone, growth requires our active participation.
✔️ Walking in the Spirit isn’t about willpower—it’s about yielding to God’s transforming presence.
✔️ The "flesh" vs. Spirit contrast isn’t about rejecting the physical world (as in Greek philosophy) but about resisting our sinful nature.
✔️ Our culture struggles with spiritual growth because we avoid the inner work previous generations valued.
