e Comments r on as.* [LessonA

Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson, The Practice of Christian Liberty, Galatians 5-13-18; 22-26; 6:1-5; for Sunday, June 21. In the last lesson Paul treated faith subjectively; in this lessen he treats faith objectively. An inward condition transformed by Christ will express itself outwardly. Liberty and freedom are first a state of the soul, but they will not remain long if not expressed in actions V. 13. “For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serving one another.’’ Those truly converted, Jew or Gentile, are hot under the Mosaic law; hence, they are free\ they are also free of such ceremonial law as circumcision. A Christian is free always to do what is right but never to do wrong. Liberty forbid license. By love serving one another is the commendable expression of liberty. V. 14. “For all the law is fulfilled in one -word, even this: Thou shalt love they neighbor as thyself.” The law as it relates to our duties to each other is fulfilled in the'outward expression of loving our neighbor. V. 15.; “But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.” These are graphic words describing internal dissensions which are likely the way of spiritual disruption. V. 16., "This I say then. Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” The Christian life is a matter of control by the Spirit; one not so controlled will find human nature dominating. ’ VA-C-j “For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit and the Spirit agains| the flesh; and these are contrary one to the so that ye can not do the things that ye would.” In the early stages of the Christian life there is an inner conflict between self and Christ represented by the Spirit. It is “Sure I must fight, if I would win.” V. 18.: “But if ye be led by the Spirit, (ye are not under the law.” The pardoning grace of God and the (iiyiiie leadership iby the Spirit when truly experienced causes We do not need more national development, we need more spiritual development. We do not need more intellectual power, we need more moral power. We do not need more knowledge, we need, more character. We do not need more government, we need more religion- j —Calvin Coolidge. CLERIOUS SAYS: Clericus says: “There is no law against the man filled with the Spirit manifesting the fruit thereof and thinking only noble thoughts. He ’ fulfills only the law of Christ which is love to God and hrs fellow man. He does not take advantage of his freedomsfrom the “Mosaic law to satisfy the passions and appetites of the flesh. His goal in life Is to glorify God in all things.]’ The truths of religion can be proved by reason.

one to live right so that without an effort the commandments of God of the Old Testament are kept. V. 22. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith.” Love is mentioned first, for it is allinclusive; the following words are in apposition with love. Love is analyzed by the words that follow —joy follows the statement; there is now no coademnation of those in Christ; the fight-is taken out; hence, peace; self-indulgence is eliminated, resulting in long-suf-fering, gentleness, goodness and faith. \ V. 23. “Meekness, temperance; against such there is no law.” Here is the mark of humility and the fact of self-control; law is for those who do evil and not for those who do good. V. 24. “And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.” Here is the description of a matured Christian because the sinful appeals of human nature have lost their grip. V. 25. “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” If the Holy Spirit animates us, let us exhibit that control of the spirit in our life.—Thayer. ¥.26. “Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.*! To God belongs all the glory. When one glories in himself and what he has done, Christ is driven out of the heart. When Christ is put out, then self acts up. V.l. “Brethren, if a man be overtaken by a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.” After beginning the Christian life, then it is a matter of strengthening the life ( of others as well as our own life, proceeding with humility, patience, and perserverance. V. 2. “Bear ye one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.” The burdens of sorrow, sickness, physical and spiritual misfortunes call for brotherly assistance. ■ i.r'i. V 5.4,5. “But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he rejoice in himself alone, and not in another. For every man shall bear his own burden." By self-ex-amination. one can see his weaknesses and seeing them, he has a duty to himself to make the needed correction. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the division of Christian education, national council of the Churches.of Christ in the U.
