“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV)
The fruit of the Spirit are not just qualities of character, but rather the outward manifestation of the Holy Spirit’s presence and power in our lives. As we live our lives through the Holy Spirit our actions will be a sharp contrast from those of the world. The world produces immorality, idolatry, hatred, anger, jealousy, doubt. worry and fear. The Fruit of the Spirit produces love, peace, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, and self-control. There is a stark difference in the actions from each. As a follower of Jesus, we are filled with the Holy Spirit of God. With that filling we receive our instructions on how we are to live our lives. Although all have ears to hear not all will listen and follow instructions. To win the world for Christ we must listen and do. We must take action and be a part of what God wants. Not being a doer will allow us to be overcome by the huge wave of indifference from the world. As we continue to pray each day, read his word, and consistently praise him with all of our heart, we will be able to get closer to our Lord and become a part of him. His words will begin to fill us with the love, peace and joy that reflects the true nature of our God in heaven. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
