The Fruits of the SpiritBut 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)
LOVE. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. (1 John 4:16). Love is the greatest fruit of the spirit and the greatest power. JOY. If we have the joy of God and of His work, we will have strength and power. "... for the joy of the LORD is your strength." (Nehemiah 8:10) PEACE. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God (Matthew 5:9). If someone has peace, he has calmness. Why here and there no calmness in our heart and we are troubled? Because there is no peace in our heart. LONGSUFFERING We should have longsuffering in waiting for the day of the Lord. If we have longsuffering, we have stable soul life. GENTLENESS and GOODNESS are good attitude of children of God. We should work to perform them. FAITH produce the crown. If someone has faith until the end, he will receive the crown of eternal life. MEEKNESS. If someone has meekness, he has heavenly atmosphere in himself. TEMPERANCE means we do not let ourselves be influenced by wrong doctrines. We want to be pure in our hearts. There are many Gifts of the Holy Spirit And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. (John 14:16-17) But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, he shall teach you all things to your rememberance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John 14:26) Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. (Matthew 12:31-32) And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Acts 2:17-21) |
