Fruit of the Spirit: Summary
The fruit of the Spirit are not “feel-good vibes” or moral must-haves. They result from a seismic worldview. They grow from faith taking root in our souls.
Fruit of the Spirit: Self-control
While self-control might sound like a call to perfection, at its core self-control values the gospel more than our desires of the moment.
Fruit of the Spirit: Gentleness
Gentleness as a fruit of the Spirit is not about being soft or timid. It involves humbly accepting what God gives without self-promotion or ambition.
Fruit of the Spirit: Faith
Faith as a fruit of the Spirit is not a feeling or belief, but a transformative worldview based on four core convictions.
Fruit of the Spirit: Goodness
Goodness as a fruit of the Spirit isn’t doing random acts of kindness. Goodness is an active pursuit of what is right and holy in both speech and action.
Fruit of the Spirit: Kindness
Kindness as a fruit of the Spirit is not good deeds. Rooted in understanding God’s kindness, it’s intentionally acting to benefit others.
Fruit of the Spirit: Patience
Patience as a fruit of the Spirit results from belief. We are longsuffering because we fix our hope on the promises of the gospel.
Fruit of the Spirit: Peace
We typically think of peace as fruit of the Spirit as “peace of mind.” But most often Scripture speaks of peace as unity among believers.
