We are warned in Galatians 5 about living by the
acts 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." When we become Christians, we are to be more
Christ-like.
We need to exchange idolatry for faithfulness;
hatred for love, fits of rage for peace and calm, dissensions for forgiveness;
and the like.
There is to be a different kind of fruit growing within our lives:
F- orgiving spirit
R- ejoicing in suffering
U- ttering daily prayer
I- ntimately seeking
Jesus
T- emptation resistance and
Truth living
"But the fruit of the
Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."
