The Battle Within Us

The Battle Within Us
Galatians 5:16-26

1. The Crucified Life
“Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”
Verse 24

To be crucified to something means to be unresponsive, or to no longer be held captive or influenced by it.

- The fact that we are crucified – Galatians 2:20
- The function of living the crucified life – Colossians 3:5

We desire the things we indulge.

2. Cooperation
“If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.”
Verse 25

Recognize our weaknesses and vulnerability points.
Psalm 37:4

3. Community
“Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.”
Verse 26

Satan’s strategy has always been divide and conquer.
Ours is to unite and overcome
