Living By The Spirit


 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, peace, patience,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.”
Galatians 5:22-23

“If your desire is to have the qualities listed in 5:22,23, then you know that the Holy Spirit is leading you.  At the same time, be careful not to confuse your subjective feelings with Spirit’s leading.  Being led by the Holy Spirit involves the desire to hear, the readiness to obey God’s Word, and sensitivity to discern between your feelings and his promptings.  Live each day controlled and guided by the Holy Spirit.  Then the words of Christ will be behind your actions, and the power of Christ will help you with your selfish desires.”

“The fruit of the Spirit is the spontaneous work of the Holy Spirit in us.  The Spirit produces these character traits that are found in the nature of Christ.”

~ Life Application Study Bible
