EMPOWERED: Fruit of the flesh

Galatians 5:19-21 | When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

  • What is a person’s sinful nature?

  • When someone follows their sinful nature, what fruit might you see in their life?

  • When a person is living how their sinful nature wants, can they bring God glory? Why or why not?

  • Looking over the list of the fruit of the flesh, what of these things can be seen in your life? How are you ignoring the Holy Spirit in these areas (or what is God asking you to do)?
