“Living By The Spirit”

The Holy Bible, New International Version®. Pradis CD-ROM:Gal 5:22. Grand Rapids: The Zondervan Corporation, © 1973, 1978, 1984.

^{Gal 5:22} But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 

^{Gal 5:23} gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 

^{Gal 5:24} Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 

^{Gal 5:25} Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 

^{Gal 5:26} Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Many times, we choose to live by the way of the world. However, we must choose to either live for Christ or the world. We cannot do both.  

As we think about living a life for Christ, there is no better example than this passage from Galatians.

As we continue our lives for Christ, let us live a life that shows these fruits of the Spirit.
