Galatians
5:22-23 “But the fruit of
the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law.”
These are the things that should be evident in us
when we are yielded and filled with the Holy Spirit. Can you imagine having all of these
attributes at one time? Seem
impossible? It is impossible on our own;
that is why it is only evident when the Holy Spirit is involved.
Love – benevolence; good will
Joy – happiness; felicity
Peace – harmony; concord
Longsuffering – patient; not easily provoked
Gentleness – kindness; tenderness
Goodness – charity; mercy
Faith – to believe; to obey
Meekness – softness of temper; mildness
Temperance – patience; calmness
In Luke 6:44a, Jesus says “For every tree is known by his own
fruit.”
The same is true of us as
Christians. We will be known by our
fruit. If we possess the fruit of the
spirit, we will have a great testimony for the Lord and it will be evident Who
lives inside of us.
