FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

” BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT PRODUCES THIS KIND OF FRUIT IN OUR LIVES: LOVE, JOY, PEACE,PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, AND SELF-CONTROL. “

As we live each day we should take the time to examine just how we are living our lives. Are we producing the kind of fruit that is evidenced by the truth in the Holy Spirit? Is our life producing the kind of fruit that others will see and recognize as coming from God? Or, are we taken in by the ways of the world and living a life that fits in nicely with the world around us. As true followers of Christ we should live a life that is separating itself from the ways of the world. There is no gray area. There is no in between. It is either living for Christ or living for the world. Our lives should reflect our love for Jesus. When it does then others see our attitudes and faithfulness for Christ. They see our self-control through troubles times, our peace and patience, love and joy. All of this fruit produced by the Holy Spirit gives us opportunity to witness to others about Jesus and the great gifts he has provided to us. Jesus loves us and gave his life for us. We must stand strong and in support of our Lord and not be ashamed of him so that he will not be ashamed of us before God. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
