“But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22.——
The fruit of the Spirit is not all inclusive in living like God intends for us to live. When we embrace each quality, we develop a godly character that leads to the Christian life God desires.
The following scripture from Romans wraps up the life that embraces the fruit of the spirit and ties it neatly with a bow of God’s love:
“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your Spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality………If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone....” Romans 12:9-13,18.
Have a blessed day!
In Christian love,
