The Spirit’s Fruit
Galatians 5:22-23
The Upward Look
by Max D. Hutto,
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 NASB
As a believer grows in his life in Christ his character begins to change to be more Christlike. He begins to develop and exhibit the fruit of the Spirit, the character traits of Christ. These desirable qualities will bring glory to God, giving evidence of His Spirit’s work in the believer’s life as he reflects Christ in attitudes and actions. As a believer continues to grow toward maturity, these enduring character traits will become more defined and recognizable as fruit of his daily walk with Christ.
Lord Jesus, may my life and character exemplify the fruit of the Spirit so as to reflect Your magnificent inexhaustible grace and love, and to bring glory and honor to You.
