Publisher's Synopsis
There is an ongoing, internal battle that is taking place inside of believers between the old and the new nature, and it is manifested in believers' behavior and attitudes. The Apostle Paul writes, "I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish."(Gal 5:16-17)Paul's letter to the Galatians is written to remind them about the Christian liberty that they have in the Spirit. Because they are now in Christ they are no longer under the law. According to this letter the Galatian church began to forget who they were and how God had set them free from the law. As a result of their sinful behavior (Gal. 5:13-14) they began to Sin against each other. This dissertation-project attempts to reveal how the word of God corrects the sinful nature that rages in the believer.(Rom.1:16)
