Free to Love Galatians 5:1-15

Avoid Legalism What it’s not: Obedience (Philippians 2:12) Effort / hard work (Philippians 2:12) Holiness (1 Peter 1:15-16) Self-discipline (1 Timothy 4:7) Good works (Ephesians 2:10)

Avoid Legalism What it is: the attempt to either earn a relationship with God (justification) or grow in a relationship with God (sanctification) through self-effort rather than through Christ’s finished work and empowering Spirit

Avoid Legalism What it involves: For them: obedience to the Jewish Law plus circumcision For us: Turning grey areas black & white Doing the right things for the wrong reasons

Avoid Legalism Why we should avoid it: Proves a crushing burden (v3) Cuts you off from God’s blessings (v2,4) Hinders your spiritual growth (v7) Is not from God (v8) Is contagious (v9) Leads to divine judgment (v10) Distorts the gospel (v11) Is worse for you than castration! (v12)

Avoid License V13a “opportunity for the flesh” “flesh” here means “our sinful, fallen human nature” License: the attempt to satisfy the sinful desires that come naturally to us

Avoid License Why we should avoid it: v15 – it hurts those around us

Pursue Love v13 – serve others in love legalism serves my pride license serves my desires love serves your needs

Pursue Love Why we should pursue love: v14 – it fulfills what the Law intended

10 Commandments Love God No other gods No idols Name in vain Sabbath Love neighbor Honor parents No murder No adultery No stealing No lying No coveting

Holiday Application Love your neighbor as yourself Who? Whoever you can be a neighbor to! How? give (e.g. anonymous gift card) serve (e.g. shop or wrap gifts for someone) welcome into your home (e.g. int’l students; new folks) share Christ
