The word for today is - Fruit !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Fruit !
 
We should study and understand the attributes of the ninefold fruit.Where do we find them in Galatians 5:22-23, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.  These nine fruits are being given to us by the Lord. The fruit of the Spirit is a wonderful study for the believer, it's a manifestation of a believers transformed life.You see these are the fruits that all believers should be producing in their new walk in Christ, this is a visible growth. God wants all of us to enter into a true sanctification process with Him so that He can begin the process of molding, shaping, and transforming us into the express image of His Son Jesus Christ. He wants to make us into a better and more holy people. He wants to transform us by the renewing of our minds. Jesus has already told us that He is the vine and we are the branches. The branches draw their life from the vine.So how can we walk in the fruit of the Spirit? It is only when the love of the Holy Spirit starts to flow and enter into our Spirit can we even begin to love God, love ourselves, and love one another to the degree that God would like to see from each one of His children. Jesus is coming back for a Bride that will be without spot or blemish. He is calling His Children to clean up their act and allow His Spirit to begin a new work in them. Will you let Him in?  He will not force Himself on you. The first and most important fruit of the Spirit is love. Love is the virtue of brotherly and sacrificial love. It is a love that seeks the good of others.The word tells us that the greatest of the fruit is Love. Peter emphasize love as one of the greatest features of the kingdom of God. Love is a spiritual anchor of truth in relationship with God and one another. This love finds its source from God alone. Because of this kind of love God sent his only Son to die for us( the believers). The Holy Spirit is hard at work to reproduce this kind of love in each of the believers. We are to show this kind of love to one another and to the world. Thank you God for loving us. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
