The first Bible text we open to on commencing our study this week, Gal 5:1 says “ It is for freedom that Christ has set us free …” (NIV) which brings us the following hymns: Hymn 292, “Jesus, I Come”, Hymn 345, “Christ Is the World’s True Light”, Hymn 460, “As Water to the Thirsty”, and Hymn 191, “Love Divine”.

And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Galatians 5:24 NKJV While reading through Galatians again, the part of this passage about even our desires being crucified jumped out at me. I have studied with people who tell me that even though they stopped smoking, the desire to smoke always remains. One man told me, “I will always be a smoker. I just will always choose not to smoke.” That makes sense as we all have sinful flesh, but do not have to give in to the flesh
