FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. You will find the reference to this verse in Galatians 5:22-23.
If someone is a Born again Christian, they will have the Holy Spirit residing in them and working in their life. They will be kind to others, loving to their neighbors, and they be very gentle in every way. They will be faithful to GOD and his Words. They will have self-control over every matters. They will be patience in obstacles, and when trouble rises they will have Peace that surpasses all understanding. They are always good to people and helping out others who are in need. They will follow God's commandments and his teachings. They are people you usually thinks it's weird. And you might even think they don't fit in this world. Well you are right to think that because God said that Whoever is a child of God is not of this world, in fact they are the enemy of the world. Because the World loves darkness that when the Light(Jesus) comes they didn't even welcome him, let alone recognize him. We who are a child of God are children of Life and the world hates light and love darkness. Now talking about Darkness our next fruits is:
FRUITS OF THE FLESH: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. Taken from Galatians 5:19-21. People who usually are living after their own flesh will be having affairs. And living life for money and greed and fulfilling their own desire of women or men, with alcohols, drugs addictions, Jealousy. They are people who looks to always starts troubles with lying, gossiping, envying others. They are also people who do
witchcraft, and are most likely filled with hatred and anger. When you meet these kinds of people there is always fear in their eyes and a sense of heaviness and sadness within them. Like they are carrying a huge burden on their shoulder. They are also people who loves to separate people and have division among themselves. These people if they don't repent of their sins and accept the Holy Spirit within them along with Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, they will NOT enter the kingdom of heaven.
My brothers and sisters we cannot make you take the Salvation through Jesus Christ and have the Holy Spirit. It is your own decision and what you want to do with your life. There is always two choices: Heaven or Hell, Good or Bad, Jesus or Satan, Eternity in Paradise or Eternity of Suffering. These are your choices, you pick which one you want to go to. I leave you all with the Scriptures in which I have gotten the information of the passage above. I hope that you read it, love it, and Live it. God Bless You!
Galatians 5:13-26
13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[b] 15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[c] you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
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.
