The Fruits of the Spirit: A True Reflection of Christianity in a Person's Life

Being a Christian is not just limited to attending church or reading the Bible. True Christianity goes beyond that. It is more of a state of being reflected in one's character and actions. This is where the fruits of the Spirit come in as an integral part of a Christian's life. In this blog post, we will dive deep into these fruits and how they reveal true Christianity in a person's life.

The fruits of the Spirit are found in Galatians 5:22-23, which states, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things, there is no law." These fruits reflect the character of God, and as Christians, we are expected to manifest them in our lives.

Love is the first fruit and the greatest of them all. It is the selfless act of caring for others without expecting anything. Joy follows, the feeling of contentment and happiness from knowing Christ. Peace is the third fruit, the inner calm and tranquility of trusting God.

Forbearance or patience is the fourth fruit that enables us to wait on God's timing and exercise tolerance towards others. Kindness comes next, which is the act of showing compassion and concern towards others. Goodness is the sixth fruit that reflects the goodness of God in our actions, whether big or small.

Faithfulness is the seventh fruit that enables us to remain steadfast in our beliefs and not falter in adversity. Gentleness follows, which is being considerate and humble towards others. Finally, self-control is the tenth fruit that helps us control our impulses and desires, enabling us to live a disciplined life.

In conclusion, the fruits of the Spirit are crucial to the Christian life as they reflect true Christianity in a person's character and actions. These fruits are necessary to claim to be a faithful follower of Christ. As we strive to grow in these fruits, it is worth remembering that God produces them through the Holy Spirit. We only need to be willing vessels and let Christ work in us. May we always be reflections of Christ, bearing fruits of the Spirit in our daily lives.

All Talk and No Action? (Video)

 It seems like you're all talk and no action when it comes to your faith. How disappointing!

Many people say they want more time for prayer or Bible reading, but I'm not sure. You claim Christ as part of this life - yet there are days where He doesn't come up at all during conversations between us; even though he was present every day last week...

Me: The Spirit-filled one

When You Love the Lord

 

When people love the Lord, they show it by being faithful, doing things for Him, and spending time with Him.

 

It’s just like when a man loves a woman. He’ll do things for her. Sometimes, for no reason at all.

 

That’s how we should be with God.

Amongst the Sheep

 

Some in leadership are so good at hiding among the sheep that they could skip service, and the sheep do not even know they were not there. And often, even the shepherds don’t know the elders are not there.

 

I think about some people in leadership who scream and holler on Sunday mornings, but they are nowhere to be found for bible study.

 

I remember when I worked the second shift, and I was always able to make it to church on Sundays, but I would crave the teachings and fellowship of bible study during the week. My manager usually gave me a day off in the middle of the week twice a month, and you better believe I was at church.

 

And that was when I was still, a visitor, long before I even became a member.

 

I noticed that then and I notice it now.
