The Fruit of the Spirit in the 21st Century
The fruits of the Spirit show us one way in which God has equipped us to face the struggles with what is going on in our world today.
Why does it matter that we are kind, generous or have self-control? How does it help us in our own life and in the relationships around us? How is the spiritual kindness any different than just general kindness?
Which of these areas do you find evident in your own life and which do you find lacking:
Galatians 5:22 & 23 "By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things." (NRSV)
