Spirit and Power Through Faith – #6 – Galatians for Beginners

The Apostle rebukes and questions his readers for their foolish and dangerous attempt at returning to a system of law/works to obtain salvation and sanctification. (Galatians 3:1-5)

“Spirit and Power Through Faith – #6 – Galatians for Beginners,” focuses on the Apostle Paul’s message in Galatians 3:1-5, where he confronts the Galatian believers about their reliance on the Law for salvation and sanctification. Paul rebukes them for returning to a system of works instead of living by faith. The video highlights how salvation and spiritual growth come through faith in Christ and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit, not by observing the Law.

Key Points from the Video:

The Problem with Legalism: Paul questions the Galatians’ return to legalism, pointing out that they began their Christian journey through the Spirit, yet they are now attempting to be perfected by the flesh (legalistic works). The speaker emphasizes that this shift from faith to works is both foolish and dangerous. Faith in Christ and the Holy Spirit’s work lead to true sanctification.
The Role of the Holy Spirit: The video underscores the centrality of the Holy Spirit in the Christian life. Through the Spirit, believers are empowered to live in freedom and fulfill God’s will. Paul teaches that the Holy Spirit brings power and transformation, enabling believers to live righteously without being bound by the Law.
Faith as the Foundation: The message stresses that faith is the foundation of the Christian life. Just as the Galatians initially received the Spirit by believing in the Gospel, they must continue to rely on faith, not works, for their spiritual growth. This faith leads to a life empowered by the Spirit, allowing believers to bear spiritual fruit and walk in freedom.
Living in the Spirit: The video encourages believers to remain steadfast in living by the Spirit rather than reverting to external religious practices. Walking in the Spirit results in a life of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and self-control—evidence of true spiritual transformation.

The lesson concludes by reminding Christians that true freedom and power come from faith in Christ, allowing the Holy Spirit to work within them, not from following religious rules or legalism.

A. CHRISTIAN COUNSELING EXPECTATIONS

Christian/Biblical Counseling: Biblical counseling, also called Christian or pastoral counseling, centers on the Lord Jesus Christ. This type of counseling includes listening, teaching, encouraging, comforting, and guiding clients to a deeper relationship with Jesus. Our goal is to glorify God and help you reflect His grace and joy in your life. As Scripture says:

“He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ” (Colossians 1:28-29, NIV).

“To equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature” (Ephesians 4:12-13, NIV).

Referrals to Professionals: If your issues require legal, medical, or other professional expertise, we encourage you to seek help from independent professionals. Our Christian counselors will work alongside these advisors to provide spiritual guidance from a biblical perspective.

Intent Listening: We encourage open communication so that your thoughts, worries, and concerns can be understood clearly, allowing for a tailored and compassionate counseling experience.

Assignments: Personalized assignments help you progress more quickly. They are designed to give insight and promote spiritual growth between sessions.

Accountability: We aim to help you grow in faith and glorify God. To achieve this, we encourage active participation in counseling sessions and any exercises assigned between sessions.

Length of Counseling: The number of sessions varies depending on the complexity of the issue and your engagement in the process. Some issues may be resolved quickly, while more complex problems, like marriage or addiction counseling, may require longer or more sessions.
