Galatians 5:22-23 "but the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT is
love
joy
peace
long-suffering
gentleness
goodness
faith
meekness
temperance;
against such there is no law."
LOVE is THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT and is manifested in:
JOY
Joy is love's strength
PEACE
Peace is love's security
LONG-SUFFERING
Long-suffering is love's patience
GENTLENESS
Gentleness is love's conduct
GOODNESS
Goodness is love's character
FAITH
Faith is love's confidence
MEEKNESS
Meekness is love's humility
TEMPERANCE
Temperance is love's victory
Only as we live in love can we fulfill the Will of God in our lives.
Without the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT we are just a religious noise.
In contrast are the works of the flesh:
Galatians 5:19-21
"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
Adultery
Fornication
Uncleanness
Lasciviousness
Idolatry
Witchcraft
Hatred
Variance
Emulations
Wrath
Strife
Seditions
Heresies
Envyings
Murders
Drunkenness
Revellings
and such like: of the which I tell you before,
as I have also told you in time past, that they which
do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
