THE BELIEVER’S LIFE AND WALK:
FREE AND SPIRITUAL
Galatians 5:13–6:18
Study 6: A WALK BOASTING IN THE CROSS OF
CHRIST
Text: Galatians 6:11-18
Aim:
To focus our entire life upon the cross of Christ.
Memory Verse:
“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of
our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified
unto me, and I unto the world” (Ga.6:14).
INTRODUCTION:
Should a Christian believer ever boast? Is boasting ever
justified? If you are a successful person, there is a great
temptation to brag about all you have accomplished. And this
is the point: many people take pride in boasting about all they
have done. This attitude is particularly wrong when it is
applied to salvation. Man had absolutely nothing to do with
the saving work of Christ. Jesus Christ needed no help from

F. A Walk Boasting in the Cross
of Christ, 6:11-18
11 Ye see how large a letter I
have written unto you with mine
own hand.
12 As many as desire to make a
fair show in the flesh, they
constrain you to be circumcised;
only lest they should suffer
persecution for the cross of Christ.
13 For neither they themselves
who are circumcised keep the
law; but desire to have you
circumcised, that they may glory
in your flesh.
14 But God forbid that I should
glory, save in the cross of our
Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the
world is crucified unto me, and I
unto the world.
15 For in Christ Jesus neither
circumcision availeth any thing,
nor uncircumcision, but a new
creature.
16 And as many as walk
according to this rule, peace be on
them, and mercy, and upon the
Israel of God.
17 From henceforth let no man
trouble me: for I bear in my body
the marks of the Lord Jesus.
18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
Amen.
