Ephesian 5: 8-11 For you were once darkness, but
now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light for the fruit
of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out
what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful
works of darkness, but rather expose them.
The
fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness,
faith, meekness and temperance. The challenge of this verse is: is the
fruit of the Spirit seen in your life? In order to understand this concept
better, replace fruit with the word "deeds". Consider them as
deeds of the Spirit. This deeds can only be "seen" when you
are full of the Holy Spirit. For it is the Holy Spirit which compels us
to do good. Therefore, remain faithful to the Lord and be obedient to
His Word, so that the Holy Spirit will remain in you. Always think: The
source of all good is Jesus. Did you already speak in tongues today? jk
