Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
When we become God’s child through faith in Christ, repenting of our sins, and surrendering our heart to Him, we have the Spirit of Christ in us!
And the result of this is that we will have His love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in us.
We may not feel these characteristics in us at times.
Sometimes we’re not joyful, and we don’t feel at peace. It may be hard at times for us to be kind. We may fail at having self-control.
The fruit of the Spirit is within us, but it doesn’t mean we will always be perfect at walking in Him.
It requires discipline. It requires focus.
it takes us surrendering our will and fleshly desires to the Holy Spirit and letting Him have control over our actions, our words, our emotions, and our thoughts!
When we let the flesh lead vs. letting His Spirit lead, we cannot please God.
Romans 8:8-9 (NKJV) 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
Let His Spirit lead us in all things today!
Galatians 5:25 (NKJV) 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Amen.
