THE FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT


"... the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; against such things there is no law." (Galatians 5:22-23)

""The fruit of the Spirit is love." Only as we live in love can we fulfill the will of God in our lives. The believer must become love-inspired, love-mastered, and love-driven (2 Corinthians 5:14). Without the fruit of the Spirit (love), we are just a religious noise (1 Corinthians 13:1).

"The fruit of the spirit is love," and it is manifested in joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control:

1) Joy is love's strength.
2) Peace is love's security.
3) Patience is love's endurance.
4) Kindness is love's conduct.
5) Goodness is love's character.
6) Faithfulness is love's confidence.
7) Gentleness is love's humility.
8) Self-control is love's victory.

"Against such things there is no law." A Holy Spirit-controlled person needs no law to live a righteous life. The secret of a Spirit-controlled life is found in dedication to God (Romans 12:1, 2). Put your all on the altar, and the Holy Spirit will fill your heart with the love of God. (Romans 5:5).

Who can have this fruit of the Holy Spirit?
You and me and all can have. God give and enable us have this fruit of the Holy Spirit to all who receive Jesus for Lord and Saviour and always devote in His words day and night and obey Him faithfully.
Therefore, let us always devote (read and study) the Bible and meditate in His words day and night and always pray faithfully.


God bless you.
