Bebe's interpretation
Galatians 5 is about freedom in Christ and living by the Holy Spirit rather than our sinful nature. In this powerful letter, Paul proclaims the reality of our liberty in Christ - freedom from the law and the power of sin and freedom to serve our living Lord. Salvation is for everyone and those who call on the name of Jesus Christ as the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:13). 
We belong to Jesus Christ when we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. We cannot proclaim that we are Christ's followers if we still hold on to our sinful desires. A true Christian must turn from sin and nail their passion to do sin to the cross, as the passion is dead and no longer holds power. In the faith of Jesus Christ, we have a new life that is free from sin's power and led by the Holy Spirit. Although we may not always be tempted by evil to sin, with the Spirit of God in our hearts, we are no longer obliged to do so.
Commit our sinful tendencies to God and crucify them daily. Embrace the Holy Spirit and follow His lead so that we can call ourselves Christ and live our lives in His name.
