Galatians 5:
19-23
|
Contrast
of Flesh and Spirit
The
deeds of the Corinthians matched very well with the deeds of the flesh. To counter
this, Paul sent Timothy to Corinth as a living example of fruit of the Spirit.
The
message to the Galatians
was that the life of God's kingdom was one of the Spirit and that this life
will be evidenced by fruits
of the Spirit. Those stuck in the deeds of the flesh of the old covenant were
outside of God's kingdom.
