All arguments should be investigated, confirming what’s false, incorrect, or if someone is wanting to be an instigator. The Judaizers in Galatians were spreading false information, they caused disruption in the church instead of being led in truth by the Spirit. Galatians 5:15 says, “If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.” Not all disagreements are wrong, but they can turn wrong once you begin to devour each other over anger and petty differences in opinions. Step back, pause, and say to yourself, “Whoa, take a breather.” Pivot from anger and let the fruit of the Spirit win. Don’t act as a wolf who is only thinking about his hunger and willing to start an unneeded fight, attacking the poor little bunny just bouncing around. We need to put the Spirit first in love, not having a selfish attitude to devour others. If you let the flesh gain control, you will sin in your anger.
Believers are to walk in the Spirit, as it gives us the answer of how to stop letting our human self take over in Galatians 5:16, “I say then, walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” Let the Spirit take control. By doing so your zest for life will change and begin to live with Christ’s guidance and His Spirit as the leader to direct your life.
