We have been proceeding slowly through these very important verses which are highly significant to the Christian’s making progress in righteousness, holiness, and truth. To make progress in these things the Christian must walk in the Spirit. To walk in the Spirit is to take steps of obedience in relation to the commandments and principles of truth which are found in the Bible; steps which will lead to your becoming more mature in your thinking and actions in Christ, and which will show forth your love for all the brethren. The walk of a Christian is not a legal walk, but a loving walk. We love the Lord Jesus for His fulfilling of all of commandments of the law on our behalf. We are thankful that God has justified us freely through His blood and righteousness. And now that we are justified by His grace, we are learning to keep all of God’s moral commandments from a thankful heart; knowing that we will not be condemned where we fall short, because of what He has done for us. However, the question that we want to consider more carefully here this evening is this: Does a Christian, just as much as an unbeliever, need to be warned against practicing the works of the flesh? And the answer to that question, as we will see is – “Yes”. So what I want to do tonight is 1st of all to set forth what is evident to the Christian about the works of the flesh. And then 2nd – What may not be evident to a Christian about the purpose of the law.
