Fruits of the SPirit intro…

I will spend some time looking at the fruits of the spirit. This is large task to discuss and this daily devotion Just scratches the surface to slow down and not just list off the Fruits of the Spirit list but to pause and come to know what those Fruits are and how we might benefit from them in our life.

Read Gal 5: 13-26

Pay attention to Paul’s masterful set up here again. He starts off saying to not indulge in the flesh to love one another. Then he tells us how to achieve this. He says to “walk by the spirit” and not by “the flesh” then he list out the acts or the sinful nature and the gifts of the spirit. They are drastically opposed to each other. After giving a list of the two he ends with where he started. ”Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.“

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭25‬-‭26‬ ‭

1) What is you sinful nature? Acts of the flesh that you struggle with in his list?

2) How will being in step with the spirit help you?

3) What fruit of the spirit are you already doing well in and which ones can you grow in?
