In this episode, Jennie continues her exploration of the book of Galatians. This time, she focuses on the tension in chapter 5 as Paul presents a contrasting message. Throughout most of Galatians, Paul emphasizes that our salvation is not dependent on our performance or adherence to the law. However, in this passage, he lays out a list of behaviors that he warns will prevent us from inheriting the kingdom of God. Jennie shows us while it may be tempting to judge others or focus on external behaviors, the key lies in understanding the inner transformation that comes from being filled with the Holy Spirit.
