Galatians 5:22-23

PASSAGE: Galatians 5:22-23 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

PAUSE: The evidence of a changed life is not one that requires rules and laws to keep us in line. Rules can keep us from behaving in ways we shouldn’t, but when we are living a transformed life by the power of the Spirit, there’s no law against such things because they shouldn’t be stopped! The more of these fruits our lives display, the better. God literally desires the life of Jesus to flow out of every believer. This life of beautiful fruit flows as we walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. The fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness & self-control. Examine the fruit of your life—do your actions fall more in line with abstaining from doing wrong things, or an overflow of the right things?

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I want to be a vessel of blessing to others. Produce Your fruit in me by Your Spirit! Amen.
