Fruit of the Holy Spirit
is a guide for Christ followers to use to demonstrate the love of Christ within you to others.
Love
Love is one of the first fruits of the Spirit. There is extreme importance that lies under learning how to love God and people. You and I must learn how to love self, love others, love your enemies, and love those that harm you. It has been stated before that " you can be the greatest man of God and have some of the greatest gifts of God flowing through you- but if you are not walking in the spirit of love and humility, it will have all been for naught." You and I have the assurance of Gods Loyal and free love.
Joy
Joy is something that is much needed in this day and age. It is said that, "No matter how bad of a beating you may have taken in this life- God can still fully heal , deliver, and restore you if you are willing to work with him in this healing process." Despite this fact, many Christians have lost their joy. Your joy is your strength. It is what will power you in your walk with god. You and I have the assurance of God's Loyal Joy in all situations.
Peace
After 2020, there has been an increase in uncertainty in this life; you never know what is going to happen next. With the constant pulling from all directions in life, we are having to stay on the alert, making it easy to lose your peace. We must remember to "Realize that the Holy Spirit has his peace to give you and that he can give it to you in great abundance."
Long-suffering is patience. It is best not to have a short fuse. "Learn how to ride and flow with the patience of the Holy Spirit in your daily life and walk with the lord- and you will then be able to enter into a much more restful, peaceful state within your mind and emotions".
Long Suffering
Kindness
It appears to be in today's world that there are an increased number of people who are no longer kind to one-another nor do they know the meaning of respect or how to be nice. This can be a result of insults and challenges they may have experienced in this life. Kindness "is a very beautiful quality to have transmitted up into your soul and personality by the holy spirit. Not only will you be able to touch others with this godly quality, but you will be able to touch yourself".
Holding onto the Lord and staying faithful to Him for the rest of your life is being Saved. There is no turning back once you start that personal relationship with God. This is the one quality that God the Father is really watching all of us on. He is watching who is going to stay true, loyal, and faithful to Him as well as those who will be true, loyal and faithful to their friends and family that have been brought into your lives. You and I have the assurance of His Loyal Faith to you and I.
Faithfullness
Gentleness
Gentleness is quite rare in today's society. But, "there is a time for tough love- but there are also times that just a gentle and loving touch is all that is really needed to properly handle a certain situation".
Self-control
It is said that "Our flesh wants immediate self-gratification at all costs and will stop at nothing to try and get it". We live in a very materialistic world, so that often makes it difficult to practice self-control, "this is why the bible tells us that if we can walk in the Holy Spirit, then we will not fulfill the lusts of our flesh" What a blessing of God's assurance that He can help you and I with this area of self-control. No other way.
Goodness
Goodness is what leads to repentance. Goodness leads people who you interact with to salvation because that goodness shines through you. "If the goodness of God will lead people to repentance and salvation with Him- then the goodness of God operating through an anointed believer will have the availability to draw nonbelievers into salvation". What a blessing to be assured of His Goodness and Mercy which are everlasting for you and I.
