The flesh vs the Spirit - John Barksdale

Gal 5:16I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Paul's letter to the Galatians was a vigorous attack against the gospel of works and the defense of the gospel of faith.  He addresses the Galatians by telling them they started out so well in the spirit but some have came in and said things to them to get them back to a gospel of works.

 6 I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; 7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. [Gal 1:6-7 NASB]

16 nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified. 17 "But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? May it never be! 18 "For if I rebuild what I have once destroyed, I prove myself to be a transgressor. [Gal 2:16-18 NASB]
