"Love, Law, and Spirit in Galatians" by Mari Leesment (Gal 5:22-23)
Describing the first fruit of the spirit, 'love', from the perspective of the entire letter of Galatians, this sermon describes love (along with the other fruits of the spirit) as the culmination of the letter and the culmination of the transformation in the Galatian believers when they were given the Spirit. It is an encouragement to order our behaviour by this most central attitude of the heart--love, as the fulfillment of the law, and as entirely possible because we have the Spirit of Christ. Sermon by Mari Leesment on Thursday, Sept 27, 2018 in Founders' Chapel, Wycliffe College, Toronto. This sermon is part of "The Visible Shape of Christ's Life in Us" Wycliffe Faculty Sermon series.
