Galatians

Been reading thru Galatians in the New Living. Usually don't really like that translation. It is really interesting. Thought I would high light a few verses.

2:17-19"But what if we seek to be made right with God through faith in Christ and then find out we are still sinners? Has Christ led us into sin? Of course not! Rather, I make myself guilty if I rebuild the old system I already tore down. For when I tried to keep the law, I realized I could never earn God's approval. So I died to the law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ."

3: 2-3" Did you receive the Holy Spirit by keeping the law? Of course not, for the Holy Spirit came upon you only after you believed the message you heard about Christ. Have you lost your senses? After starting your Christian lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort?"

5:22-23 "But when the Holy Sprit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Here there is no conflict with the law."

(all BOLD emphasis mine)

Wanted to add more, but Turner Dean is up!
