Galatians 5:16-26

Let us consider the Holy Spirit who is 
the one who sanctifies us. The Latin word 
Sanctus (sanctuary, sanctification) is where we 
get our English word holy (set-apart). We are 
made holy not through our own power or 
effort to be, or do better. We are made holy 
through the power of the Holy Spirit who 
produces all that is good (fruit of the Spirit) 
within us. Left to our own devices, we will 
produce the "acts of the flesh" which are 
opposed to the fruits of the Spirit.
