A Vision for Holiness (94A)

Speaker: John R. W. Stott

Date: 8/8/2006

References: Galatians 5:22-24

Introduction:

Galatians 5:22-24 is Stott's favorite passage.

Love is the pre-eminent Christian grace.

Love is greater than right beliefs.
Love is greater than faith.
Love is greater than religious experiences.
Love is greater than service.

Love brings joy and peace.

Happiness is elusive.
God gives joy and peace to those who pursue him in love.
When we die to our self-centeredness, we begin to live.

Love results in patience, kindness, and goodness.

Love is sacrificial service.
Love is patient, kind, and good.

Love is balanced by self-control.

We have to master our selves, before they can be used to serve others.

Love is the fruit of the Spirit.

The flesh and the Spirit are in a tug of war in us.
We are to crucify the flesh.
We are to feed the Spirit.
Illustration: Father uses green peach to show his daughters how the Spirit would ripen Charles Simeon.

Conclusion:

Only Jesus displayed the fruit of the Spirit to perfection.
Christlikeness is holiness, and God's purpose for us.
