Fruit of the Spirit

RELIGION:
God blesses us for good behavior and
punishes us for bad behavior.
RELATIONSHIP:
God blesses us, period, and brings for
righteousness in our lives.

"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control"
Galatians 5:22-23

Fruit comes from within the tree.
It is the manifestation of the life that is
within the tree itself.

The fruit of the Spirit is not behavior
attached to our lives, it's the life of the
Spirit manifested in us.
God is not impressed with our behavior.
What we really need is for Him to live His
life in us.
He is the vine, we are the branches.
Our lives come from Him; His life flows
through us.

The Christian life is a matter of yielding
to Him.
