On the Podcast now - The entire book of Galatians about 2 messages:1. The gospel of the grace of Christ - brings rest in His finished work.2. Another gospel, which isn't a gospel - puts you to work trying to earn life.1. Faith which brings blessing, the Spirit, miracles, perfection and life.2. Works which bring curses, condemnation, fear, sin and death.1. Law which focus on the outside of the cup, Jew, slave, woman.2. Grace which cleans the inside of the cup and makes us all one.1. The truth that makes you free - and declares people clean.2. The Law that brings bondage - and declares people dirty.1. The works of the Law - a rule you keep - something to do.2. The hearing of faith.- a promise He kept - something to believe.1. The works of the flesh - the Law that increases sin and kills.2. The fruit of the Spirit - the Spirit that gives life and transforms.1. Mt. Sinai - Hagar who had a child because she was strong enough.2. Mt. Zion - Sarah who had a child because God keeps His promises I'm not saved because I'm good. I'm saved because He's good!My website: www.bradfreeman.comMy blog: bradcfreeman.tumblr.com/

What part of not don't you understand, Brad. He also remarks about the fruit of the Spirit being love. The supernatural production of a Spirit walking Christ follower would be thus ascertained. Conversely a flesh walking unbeliever would produce other works. Note there are works in both scenarios Brad, though one is called fruit. Is not fruit in actuality a work. How can a person walk and there not be some work involved. Do you walk with zero effort? Would you not, while walking in this world of trouble (The Lord said we would have trouble in this world) with much testing, have to work at walking?Just don't throw the baby out with the bath water!

You don't have to read anything into the text to see that Paul is talking about the whole Law and the idea of earning righteousness, the Spirit, miracles, perfection or blessing by keeping the Law.Gal. 2:14 But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all,
