THE FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT:
GALATIANS 5:22 “But the FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS LOVE: Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith.” In order for Christians to mature, they must grow Good Fruit. SPIRITUAL MATURITY IS THE FRUIT (LOVE) OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. However, the Gifts of the Holy Spirit are NOT maturity. In the Bible, Apostle Paul was emphasizing the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit in 1st. Corinthians 13:1-2, Read “Though I speak with the tongues of MEN and of ANGELS, and have NOT charity (LOVE), I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have NOT charity (LOVE), I am nothing.” The process requires personal devotion, and submission to God the Holy Spirit, who indwells (resides) in every Christian. This is not easy and will take time. But eventually will lead to walking in LOVE BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. (Bible References KJV)
