Galatians 5:24

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 5:24

They that are Christ’s; those who are ingrafted into Christ by faith, united to him, and so his members; have crucified the flesh; by virtue of a power derived from the cross of Christ, have got their unregenerate part in a great measure mortified; with the affections and lusts; with the inordinate desires, affections, and passions of it: not that they have wholly put off these, (they are men still), but the inordinateness of them is corrected, mortified, and subdued. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Galatians 5:22-26

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESGalatians 5:22. The fruit of the Spirit.—The singular fruit, as compared with the plural works, suggests that the effect of the Spirit’s inworking is one harmonious whole, while carnality tends to multitudinousness, distraction, chaos. We are not to look for a rigorous logical classification in either catalogue. Generally, the fruit of the Spirit may be arranged as: I. Inward graces—“love, joy, peace.” II. Graces towards man—“longsuffering, gentleness, goodness,... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Galatians 5:1-26

Shall we turn now to Galatians chapter five. The whole concept is: how do I establish a righteous standing before God? Can I be righteous by keeping the law? Or am I righteous by my simple faith in Jesus Christ? Now, Paul taught righteousness through faith. There followed Paul teachers, Judaizers who brought another gospel, which was not really a gospel. For they were saying that was it was necessary to be circumcised and to keep the law of Moses in order to be righteous before God, to be... read more

Galatians 5:1 . Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, by the redemption he has procured through the shedding of his own most precious blood. The liberty of your celestial birth, comprising pardon, and all the blessings of the new covenant. The power to leave the galling rituals of the law behind, and put on the garments of righteousness, as the sons of Abraham and of Sarah. The yoke of bondage is now superseded by divine adoption, which makes us sons of... read more

24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Ver. 24. And they that are Christ’s ] When Christ came in the flesh, we crucified him; when he comes into our hearts, he crucifies us. Have crucified the flesh ] To crucify is not absolutely and outright to kill; crucifixion is a lingering death, no member being free from pain. If then we so repent of sin (as that which crucified Christ), we so pierce the old man, that we are sure he will die of it, though... read more
