Hey! Hope you all are doing great in Christ. I’m back with a new writing on the topic “Fruit of the Spirit”. I want to give you a clarity before going in detail that the most of the people assume it as “Fruits” of spirit but its not “fruits” it’s a single fruit which has nine parts.
Galatians 5:22-23|NIV But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control
So if the spirit of God is in you then all the characters will be visible to others in you.Have you ever thought why the fruit of the Spirit is mentioned in the bible? Because of the five verses preceding to it.
Acts of flesh
Galatians 5:17|NIV For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh.
Yes, there is always a contrary between the flesh and the spirit, I many times experienced this. Flesh is deceiving and its acts are,(verse 18) sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;idolatry, drug use and casting spells, hate, fighting, obsession, losing your temper, competitive opposition, conflict, selfishness, group rivalry,jealousy, drunkenness and partying.
These are dangerous to our spiritual life and the bible warns that whosoever carry these things won’t inherit God’s kingdom (heaven).And holy spirit is so friendly and stronger than these and helps you to win the victory from the acts of flesh through fruit of the spirit i.e, through love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Don’t be a slave to your flesh but grow in spirit. I encourage you people to be more in God’s word which helps your spirit to grow against acts of flesh. I would love to share more about the each quality of the spirit in coming days.
God be with you ☺️
With love❤️
