WHAT FRUIT ARE YOU EXHIBITING IN YOUR LIFE AS A GENUINE CHRISTIAN ?
The Fruit of the Spirit isn’t just a list, it’s a lifestyle.
” But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”( Galatians 5: 22-25 NKJV).
When we stay rooted, and grounded in God’s Word, His personality of love,truth, holiness, righteousness, and faith is displayed. His character begins to grow in us, and shine through our lives,because that’s who He is to us.
✨ Love more. ✨ Choose joy. ✨ Walk in peace. ✨ Be patient. ✨ Show kindness. ✨ Live with goodness. ✨ Remain faithful. ✨ Practice gentleness. ✨ Exercise self-control.
These are the fruits that reflect the heart of Jesus.
As we draw closer to God, He transforms us from the inside out so that our lives become a blessing to others.
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.”(John 15:1-8 NKJV).
” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV]
