Life by the Spirit
Posted : 4 Sep, 2011 04:24 PM

The acts of the sinful nature are obvious; sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolartry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.



But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.



Galatians 5:18-26 NIV

It's all so simple: just submit to Christ, and he will help us to build these fruit of the Spirit. Despite the simplicity of it all, Submission and Surrender have to be the hardest thing that we do as believers. In our flesh, we think we can do it on our own, but God is the only good thing, and only through him is and his will is any of that possible. He is the only good thing.
