FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT
When we read the list of the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT in Galatians 5:22-23 we see it as a "job description."
But it's really a "list of benefits" that the HOLY SPIRIT makes available to us.
🍎LOVE - an unselfish concern for others.
🍐JOY - inner excitement about what GOD has done, will do, or is going to do.
🍒PEACE - an inward calm that does not depend on outward circumstances.
🍇PATIENCE - the ability to deal wisely in difficult situations & with difficult people.
🍍KINDNESS - a giving spirit that reflects GOD's heart towards us.
🍏GOODNESS - having a positive disposition & a willingness to be a benefit to others.
🍋FAITHFULNESS - Making & sticking to our commitments.
🍉GENTLENESS - a mild tempered approach to life.
🍓SELF-CONTROL - the ability to avoid and/or resist sin (or low level living).
(These are just my ballpark definitions based on the original Greek words. Remember, the Spirit PRODUCES these fruit, not you.)
GoodNight.....!!!
