Week 5 | Abiding In Him

Day Two

Spend some time in prayer before you begin. Ask God to bring you joy, peace, patience, and self control while in this study with Him today.

• Read Galatians 5 again but this time try reading it in a different version than you did before, look up the definitions of words you don’t know, summarize what the passage is saying in your own words.
• Do some research, who wrote the book of Galatians? When was it written? To whom was it written? What genre of writing is it (Historical narrative, poetry, wisdom literature, law, prophesy, parables, epistles)? Why is all of this important?
• Do you think this passage teaches us about God’s creation, man’s sin, God’s redemption of man, or God’s restoration of man to Himself? It can be more than one. Why is it important to think about this?
• How does learning about the fruit of the Spirit change how you view the Holy Spirit? Why did God give us the Holy Spirit to help us bear this fruit?
• How should we respond to God’s gift of the fruit of the Spirit?
• Spend some time in prayer as you close, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the fruits you are bearing well. Ask Him to reveal those you are not, and to help you grow in those areas.
