What warning does Paul give in Galatians" One Another's Burdens God loves to present truth through paradox and contrast. The most glorious man ever to live came to earth not as the pampered child of a king, but as the son of a carpenter.He chose to send His message to the world not through philosophers and wise men, but through fishermen and tax collectors. As we hear this message and obey it, we learn that dying to ourselves is the only way to live. We see another such paradox presented in the early part of Galatians 6. Although each one of us must bear our own load (and give account for the way we bore it), we are still commanded to bear the burdens of our brethren. This is one of the defining tensions of Christianity. Our faith is at once strikingly individualistic, yet strikingly communal There will be no group admissions into heaven. Each one of us will be judged for the things that we have done, without reference to the excuses provided by the conduct of others. continued on page 15

"Crucified with Christ""Lesson Six : Walk by t he Spirit"".------=--------------,""The Fruit of the Spirit As the harvest approaches, even the ob­ server who has never farmed a day in his life can tell how the crop is doing. Is the corn thick and tall, or is it lifeless and stunted after the summer's drought? Do the orchard boughs hang heavy with fruit, or are they baren as a result of the hailstorm last May? The truth is plain to see.In the same way, the worldly observer who has never served Christ for a day of his life can tell what kind of Christians we are sim­ ply by looking at us. ""OJtsider"" and ""stupid"" are not synonyms; if we are hypocrites or sanctimonious Pharisees, the people around us have little difficulty in discerning the truth. They know who we are from the fruit we bear.Paul describes some of our most important fruit in Galatians 5:22-23. To the Christian who is looking for an excuse to be useless, these fruit are vague and undefined. ""What am I supposed to do?' he asks_ disingenu­ously, hoping to receive no answer. How­ ever; to the committed child of God, these two verses describe the bounty of a spiritual harvest more completely than any list of specific commands ever could. The com­mand to love, for instance, is not a minimum we must fulfill It is a divine ideal to which we aspire. We have only loved enough when we have loved as much as Jesus.If we are truly committed to bearing this sort of fruit for God, it will be obvious. People may not know precisely what we believe or where we go to church, but they will know that we are children of God. As the Scrip­ture bears this fruit in our lives, it will not prove infertile. Instead, it will take root in the hearts and minds of others, so that it will bear a harvest of souls on the last day. May all of us produce fruit like this!""Galatians 5:1-12""1. What does Paul state about the Galatians in Galatians 5:1? What should they not do as a consequence? How does""this relate to the previous discussion?""2.

Accord­ing to Galatians 5:4, what's the basic problem here?""Should this teach us anything? If so, what?""3. By contrast, how does Paul describe true Christianity in Galatians 5:5? How does he support this statement in Galatians 5:6? How is this different from what the Gala­tians are doing? If Paul is so worked up about circumci­sion, why does he say here that it means nothing?""4. What does Paul ask in Galatians 5:7?

"Crucified with Christ" "Lesson Four : Sons of God Through Faith" Under a Tutor As we consider the denominational world around us/ we very often are moved to shake our heads as we consider the vast gap between their practice and what the word requires. Why do the members of one denomination allow its leadership to supplant the inspired word with thousands of years of human tradition? Why does another denomination reject the idea that baptism saves/ even though it is stated in Scripture a dozen times? In many cases, the problem is simply failure to study the Bible. It is a lack of understanding of what the Scripture teaches, combined with inability or unwillingness to connect the meaning of several different Scriptures into a complete understanding of the ordinances of God. Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than in the widespread failure to separate the two covenants. Most believers today venerate the Ten Commandments. They affirm that they are the bedrock not just of Judaism, but of Christianity. They fight legal battles to post them in courtrooms and classrooms. Men and women like this are quite often sincere/and they would be appalled to hear that the Ten Commandments, per se, are not a part of the Christian system at all. However, that is precisely what the Bible teaches. As Galatians 3 makes clear, the Law of Moses/ including the Ten Commandments/no longer binds us in any way. Certainly,nine of those commandments are incorporated in the teaching of Christ but the disciple treats them no differently than anything else Jesus has said. This startling truth about Scripture transforms the way we consider issues from instrumental music to homosexuality. However, it is a truth only accessible to those who study the word.
