“Fruits Of The Spirit”
(Our Inheritance)


“22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.”
(Gal. 5:22-26)


We can examine ourselves to see if we are bearing fruit. If we aren’t bearing fruit as stated in these verses, we need to ask ourselves why. Is it because we are not living in the spirit, but still being ruled by the flesh? We need to be honest with ourselves and make a careful examination of our character. There cannot be any fence sitting here. We are either living life in the spirit or we are being ruled by the flesh.


I will die to my flesh daily. I will examine myself daily. I will check myself to see if I possess the characteristics mentioned in these verses. If I do not possess the fruits of the spirit then I need to ask why, and I need to do something about it.


“Lord our God. Help me to die to my flesh daily. Let the spirit in me lead and I will follow. Let my cup be overflowing with the Holy Spirit.
Amen.”
