The Fruit of a Gospel Centered Life: The Spirit Pt. 2 (BG)

Growing up, most of us had role models or celebrities we looked up to and tried to emulate. These
people were plastered on our walls, doodled in our notebooks, and spoken of around the dinner
table. While we may no longer seek to be the greatest athlete, biggest movie star, or best writer
anymore, we all should desire to become more like our Savior.
Jesus perfectly modeled a Spirit-filled life, rich with its fruit. Miraculously, Jesus is not merely
some celebrity, sketched in the margins of a page, but personally inserts Himself into our lives,
making recompense for our failures and guiding us in our growth. He shepherds us with His Spirit,
indwelling and empowering us to live in truth and life.

When we approach Scripture, it is important to remember that it wasn’t written solely to us, and its contents go beyond what it means for each of us specifically. Let us not forget that Galatians was written to a community of believers—not one person. This community of faith was struggling to live gospel-centered, Spirit-filled lives. As we've teased out over the last twelve weeks, this problem wasn’t unique to their situation, but continues to be a struggle for us today. In the concluding chapter of Paul's letter, we receive a beautiful picture of what a Spirit-led community could look like. A community defined by the cross is diverse, humble, gentle, gracious, burdenbearing, generous, future-oriented and—most of all—makes much of Jesus. What would it take for this to be said about Summit View Church? As we seek to emulate what Paul calls us to here, may we not grow weary of doing this good work. May we be a people, like Paul, who boast only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.
