The Fruit of the Spirit

REMAIN IN ME, AND I WILL REMAIN IN YOU. NO BRANCH
   CAN BEAR FRUIT BY ITS SELF; IT MUST REMAIN IN THE
   VINE. NEITHER CAN YOU BEAR FRUIT UNLESS YOU
   REMAIN IN ME. I AM THE VINE; YOU ARE THE BRANCHES.
   IF A MAN REMAINS IN ME AND I IN HIM, HE WILL BEAR
   MUCH FRUIT; APART FROM ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING.
                                ( JOHN 15:4-5 *NIV ) Now our Savior Jesus Christ is the vine and we are the
   branches, so you may ask what is this fruit?  The answer
   is found in the Book of Galatians, for it is written; THE FRUIT
   OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENTS,
   KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS
   AND SELF CONTROL. AGAINST SUCH THINGS THERE IS
   NO LAW.    (GALATIANS 5:22-23 )

       The fruit of the Spirit is the work of the Holy Spirit within
   us, for it produces these character traits in us.  It helps us to
   become more like Christ, which should be the goal of every
   Christian.

       This happens to us because; IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST,
   HE IS A NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED
   AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THING HAVE BECOME NEW.
   ( 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 )

       So, why not take a few minutes tonight and read this
   wonderful 15th Chapter of John. For those words were spoken
   by our Savior, Jesus Christ.

       Now may; THE GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,
   AND THE LOVE OF GOD, ANT THE COMMUNION OF THE
   HOLY SPIRIT BE WITH YOU ALL.    Amen.
   (2 CORINTHIANS 13:14 )
