The Fruit of the Spirit and the Incarnation of Christ In Our Lives

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Galatians 5:22-23

Thoughts:

The Fruits Of The Spirit
Are Not Only Evidence
Of The Indwelling Presence Of Christ
In Our Lives,
But The Very Power
By Which We Represent Christ and
From Which The World Feeds On Christ…
No Fruit… No Food...
No Fruit... No Representation.

The Fruit of the Spirit is What Enables The Believer To Be The Incarnation of Christ In The World
