Walk In The Spirit (Galatians 5:16-18)

“Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” (Galatians 5:16-18.)

The church at Galatia had initially accepted the freedom that comes with God’s grace in full understanding of what Jesus had done for them, but then some were falling back into the bondage of slavery through the law.
They were trying to go back to following the law as a means of acceptance before God. 
St. Paul is exhorting them that the only purpose of the law is to show us our sins and our need for a Savior. 
Once we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, His Spirit comes to live inside us. 
It’s no longer doing it in our own strength but relying on the Holy Spirit to move in us so that we produce the fruits of the Spirit. 
The fruits of the Spirit must be performed by the Holy Spirit. 
Every time we try in our own strength, to be for example patient, the sinful flesh comes along and sabotages our efforts. 
Jesus said that Father God will send to us the Holy Spirit to help us and guide us. 
In Him we have all His wisdom and truth. 
All we have to do is to strive to be filled with the Holy Spirit all the time to be able to have all the fruits of the Spirit. 
We cannot be filled with love, kindness, patience, gentleness, humbleness, self-control, etc. without being united with our Lord Jesus and be filled with His Holy Spirit. 
Amen.
