Galatians 5:22-23
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
When the Spirit of the Lord is evident in your life there are certain things that shows forth as fruit. When you walk and dine with the Spirit your spirit becomes one with His and you begin to showcase the very characteristics that are born of Him.
As someone who is filled with the Sprit of God, there most be evidence of the fruit of the Spirit. There must be love, even when you don’t think someone deserves it. Joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, even in the moment when others will overlook these traits. If you are walking with the Spirit of God then you’re life must speak the very language of love, kindness, goodness, self-control and every other fruit there is. If you claim to be walking with the Spirit however you cannot hold your tongue or control your anger then you must check yourself.
In the manner that an athlete’s body and stamina speaks to the fact that he or she is an athlete. So your fruits should show that you are one with the Spirit. If you believe your are one walking with the Spirit check yourself and see if your fruits can attest to that.
