As we discuss the FRUIT of the Spirit from Galatians 5 its important to point out a few key points. .
1. FRUIT is singular!
These are not individual attributes of the Spirit. They are not separated. They are all connected. One is the direct result of another. They all tie in together! Which means you cant have one without the other. And look at the very first .
2. The Divine Order
God placed this list in a specific order. It's a DIVINE list you can not take out of order. Meaning- if you desire to have joy and peace in your heart and to be evident in your life- than you must first have love of God rule your heart.
LOVE is the foundation and joy and peace are the result! .
3. Everything hinges on LOVE.
As a Christian, everything we do points back to our love for God. The way we love others, the way we make decisions, the way we obey Him, the way we follow His commandments, the way we react- it all reflects our love relationship with Him. .
Joy?
Peace?
They are the result of a love relationship with Him!
If you feel like your joy is gone and peace is non- existent...then examine you relationship with God!
How long has it been since you spent time with Him?
When was the last time you read His words?
Has it been a while since you had undistracted quite time with Him?
How long has it been since you had a heart of worship?
Today, go spend some time with Him!
Dont allow busy schedules, the rush of the holidays, lack of discipline, or laziness, rob you from the joy and peace that come from walking with God.
Go open His word and enjoy loving on Him today❤
Blessings
