Jesus Saved Me From… Death / Destruction05 • Jesus Saved Me From… SeriesGalatians 5:16-26You know when you’re eating chips, and you tell yourself, “Just one more”? Before you know it, you’ve eaten half the bag. It doesn’t feel like a big deal in the moment, but the next thing you know, you’re wearing sweatpants more often than you'd like and regretting that one extra chip.But a lack of discipline is seen in other areas of our lives, especially our spiritual lives. Like when we neglect regular time in prayer, Scripture reading, or fellowship with believers. It’s like Paul said in Galatians 5:7, “You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?”There are three forces that are working to hinder us from obeying the truth: (1) Legalism, (2) Others, and (3) Our Desires. The sad reality is that we are doomed to our own destruction. Because we are in a losing battle with our desires. Until Jesus stepped in and rescued us. He provided (1) grace for when we fail, (2) brothers and sisters in Christ, and (3) the Holy Spirit. Walking with the Spirit will keep us from wandering into the world and our own desires.
