Galatians 5:1 - 5:26

In this lesson, Paul begins to move past his doctrinal arguments and moves into practical applications for how to apply the doctrinal truths covered in the past three lessons to the Christian life. 

Paul starts this chapter by telling the Galatians they are free from the burden of trying to prove themselves righteous by the Mosaic law, and he urges them to reject the lies of the Judaizers. 

He then gets to more general advice for Christian living showing the Galatians that they will not give in to the works of sin if they will walk by the Holy Spirit. Special attention is given to examining the different works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit.
