Galatians 5: 19-23
“The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:19-23
The Holy Spirit spontaneously and creatively produces this kind of fruit in us. The Spirit generates these character traits in us because we are becoming more like Jesus who perfectly modeled them.
What is the meaning of the fruit of the Spirit?
The meaning of “fruit of the Spirit” is the attributes that surface and mature in the life of people who have truly surrendered their lives to God and have been filled with His Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is the result of allowing God’s Spirit to transform a person into His image.
What are the nine fruit of the Spirit?
Paul speaks of the traits that will be seen in those who have fully given their lives to God. Transforming from fleshly acts to the results that show by loving and serving God become visible, overtaking the lifestyle of a person who was formerly a servant to sin.
Tomorrow we will talk about Love and what it means. Have a blessed day!
