We see the words "Law", "Flesh" (5x in this text, 18x in Galatians) and "Spirit" often in this text, how do they relate? What other word is a major driver in this passage?

The Spirit and flesh are contrary to one another! Ever feel the tug of war within? How do you handle it? What do you call it?

Which is stronger? The Spirit or the flesh?

What do the "deeds of the flesh" look like, how many have you suffered from?

This portion says those who "evidence" or "practice" these sins will NOT inherit the kingdom of God. Our works "should" evidence our faith and character! If you were on trial for being a Christian, would the evidence be enough to convict you?

How is this text like the book of James we studied in the fall?

We are told to "walk by the Spirit" and be "led by the Spirit", how do we do that?

What other famous bible passage reflects this internal struggle?
