Galatians 6:1โ€“18: New Creation Living

Paul begins the last chapter in his letter to the Galatians (Galatians 6:1โ€“18) with more instructions on how to live out their freedom in Christ, especially in regard to relationship. He's already directed them to walk by the Spirit, but what happens when someone is overcome by wrongdoing? Paul calls for gentle restoration and then concludes his letter back on the topic he started withโ€”circumcision doesn't matter. What counts is living as a new creation.

Gal 5:13โ€“26: Walk By the Spirit, Not the Flesh

Having established that we are justified by faith in Christ and not by obeying the requirements of the law, Paul now teaches us in Galatians 5:13โ€“26 how to live out this new freedom we have in Christ. It's not freedom to indulge the flesh, but rather freedom to walk by the Spirit.
