The Fruit of the Spirit
Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: When we’re living under the control of the Holy Spirit, He produces in us what Galatians 5 calls the fruit of the Spirit. So here’s a list of those qualities, along with some questions that will help you evaluate the fruit you see in your life.
Man: “The fruit of the Spirit is love.”
Nancy: Do people feel like they have to gain your approval, or do they know you love them no matter what?
Man: “Joy”
Nancy: Is your level of joy based on circumstances?
Man: “Peace”
Nancy: Do you trust God to be in control?
Man: “Patience”
Nancy: Are you willing to accept irritating circumstances?
Man: “Kindness, goodness”
Nancy: Are you thoughtful and considerate? Do you overcome evil by doing good?
Man: “Faithfulness, gentleness”
Nancy: Do you have a teachable spirit?
Man: “Self-control”
Nancy: Are your natural passions under the control of the Holy Spirit?
Remember, these are the qualities of Christ’s life flowing through us as we surrender to His control.
With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.
