The Fruit of The Spirit
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23)
Today’s Morsel: One of the things we find about Paul’s writings to the church, is that he will often identify if something went against the Law of God, or if it went in anyway against God’s word. Paul seems to always want to give revelation and inspiration, so that his audience would know what they were to do with what he wrote or said to them. In today’s passage on the ‘Fruit of the Spirit’, he ends by saying, “against such there is not law.” In other words, the law did not speak against, nor were there any warnings that one could not possess as many or as much of these attributes in their lives. There were no limits placed on them, because these are by-products of the Spirit of God. And if we have His Spirit in us, then these character traits ought to be manifested so that everyone can see them in operation in our lives. Does your life reveal that His Spirit is present in your life? Always remember, the fruit is in the seed and the seed is in the fruit.
Sing: It’s my desire to live like Jesus, it’s my desire to be like Him; Though often I fail and bring Him much shame, it’s my desire to live like Him.
If you could see where Jesus brought me from, to where I am today; Then you would know the reason why I love Him so. Now you can take this world’s wealth and riches, I don’t need earth’s fame; It’s my desire, it’s my desire to live for Him.
Thought For Today: “For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (2 Peter 1:8)
