In these last two chapters of Galatians, Paul shared that since we are saved by faith in Jesus alone, and that is what justifies us before God, not our works, we are to live in freedom, not be in bondage again to the sinful nature. Circumcision, or other works of the law, do not make us right before God. Verse 6b, "The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love." Believers in Christ are not to indulge in the sinful nature, but instead are to serve others in love. Living in Christ means to live in His Spirit, and the fruit of that Spirit is "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law." We are to live and walk in the step with the Spirit. Believers are to watch over one another, and do good to all people, "especially those who belong to the family of believers." He ends reminding them that people of faith in Jesus, no matter their backgrounds, are a part of the family of God, "The Israel of God" (6:16).
