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!
Galatians 5:22-23
Lately I have been thinking about freeing it is to live by the fruit of the Spirit. This verse says there is no law against any of these things listed above! Amen! Following Jesus and learning how to live by His Spirit inside of me has been such a fulfilling experience. Although Jesus left earth, He promised to give us something better, which is the Holy Spirit (John 16:7). What are you guys thoughts on this verse? I love how as Christians, one of the main reasons we stand out so much is because of the joy in Christ that is so evident in us! Amen!
I love you guys!
Love always, Jess
Love it! I love how there are lots of things listed in the Galatians verse, but it's called "fruit" singular. Each one is connected & part of the whole one fruit. Reminds me of the Trinity. Us kids of God, through Jesus, have the gift of the Holy Spirit. God is amazing! He thought out that we would need such a helper on this earth now that Jesus is no longer walking around the planet with us, like He was a few thousand years ago. Thanks for your thoughts on this! God is using your blog to minister to hearts!
