But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22–23
D.L. MOODYThe fruit of the Spirit begins with love.There are nine graces spoken of, and of these nine, Paul puts love at the head of the list; love is the first thing, the first in that precious cluster of fruit. Someone has said that all the other eight are an outflow from love. Joy is love exulting; peace is love in repose; long suffering is love on trial; gentleness is love in society; …

The law was our guardian until Christ came. Galatians 3:24
D.L. MOODYDoctrines are like a street that leads me to God, just as a city street might lead me to a friend’s house for dinner. Doctrine shows me the right path, but if I remain on the street, my hunger will never be satisfied. Feeding on doctrines alone is like trying to live on dry husks; doctrine points the way, but it is not the end of the journey. Lean indeed must be the soul which will not partake of the Bread sent down from heaven.

They also took Lot, the son of Abram’s brother, who was dwelling in Sodom, and his possessions, and went their way. Genesis 14:12
D.L. MOODYFor awhile, Lot made money very fast in Sodom and became a very successful man. If you had gone into Sodom a little while before destruction came, you would have found that Lot owned some of the best corner lots in town, and that Mrs. Lot moved in what they called the bonton society or upper ten; and you would have found she was at the theatre two or three nights in the week. If …

Some people believe there are many ways to God. The cross stands alone because of the One who died on it. Pastor Lutzer points to three new realities because of Jesus’ death on the cross: our standing before God, our personal value, and our worship. Throughout all of eternity, we will be reminded of the cross.

Are you trying to read God's mind? Pastor Lutzer suggests 3 principles to further align with God’s Will in your decision-making: 1.) Don't follow your heart, 2.) Don't sacrifice the permanent on the altar of the immediate, and 3.) Don't make quick decisions about important matters. If you do the will of God as revealed in the Bible, He'll guide you in the unclear matters.

And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. Genesis 12:2
D.L. MOODYThere is no name in history so well known as the name of Abraham. The Muslims, the Persians, and the Egyptians make a great deal of Abraham. His name has been, for centuries and centuries, favorably known in Damascus. God promised him that great lineage through his offspring. Was there ever a nation that has turned out such men? Think of Elijah and Daniel and Isaiah, and all the other …

The LORD will give grace and glory. Psalm 84:11, KJV
D.L. MOODYThere is not such a great difference between grace and glory after all. Grace is the bud, and glory the blossom. Grace is glory begun, and glory is grace perfected. To people who are serving God down here, glory will not come hard when they go up yonder to heaven. They will change places, but they will not stop serving.
ERWIN LUTZERThe word glory has a variety of meanings. When applied to God, it means majesty, worthiness, and eternality. We, too, will enjoy glory, though not of …

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. Galatians 6:7
D.L. MOODYThis law is just as true in God’s kingdom as in man’s kingdom; just as true in the spiritual world as in the natural world. If I sow tares, I am going to reap tares; if I sow a lie, I am going to reap lies; if I sow adultery, I am going to reap adulterers; if I sow whisky, I am going to reap drunkards. You cannot blot this law out, it is in force. No other truth …

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us— for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree.”
Galatians 3:13D.L. MOODYLife never came through the law. As someone has observed: “When the law was given, three thousand men lost life; but when grace and truth came at Pentecost, three thousand obtained life.” Under the law, if a man became a drunkard, the magistrates would take him out and stone him to death. When the prodigal came home, grace met him and embraced him. Law said, “Stone him!”—grace said, …
