On Sunday last I tried to bring before you part of the meaning of these verses, and especially of the 16th verse. I pointed out that, when St. Paul said to the Galatians, “Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh,” he must have believed that in some way or other the Galatians wished not to fulfil the lust of the flesh, and therefore would be glad to learn how they might avoid fulfilling it: that they were indeed, as St. Paul's own language shows, fleshly enough in their acts, but still that their truest and inmost selves desired not to fulfil the desire of the flesh. I said that St. Paul's faith in this better mind of the Galatians sprung partly from the faith and spirituality which he had himself formerly seen in some of them, but still more from the knowledge that they were all men created in the image of God Himself, redeemed with the blood of His Son, and worked upon by His Holy Spirit within them: and further that all Christian preachers have a right, in thinking of and speaking to their own congregations, to act upon the faith which encouraged St. Paul when he was writing to the Galatians, since we too are born of the same family, and baptized into the same Church as they were.
