What kind of fruit are you???

Good morning everyone!! BBrrrrrr! yes, it is cold outside and don't we all know this. Wow!!! But the rain has certainly helped Lake Palestine, we are almost back up to where we should be. yea!!! But, tooo cold to get out on the boat!! Wow!! Okay, what kind of fruit are you!!?? You may be a little fruity, but if it is the right type of fruit.....hey..home free!!
Galatians 5:22-23 "BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT PRODUCES THIS KIND OF FRUIT IN OUR LIVES: LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, AND SELF-CONTROL. THERE IS NO LAW AGAINST THESE THINGS!"
Okay, so what is being said here. The fruit of the spirit is the work of the Holy Spirit in us. The Spirit produces these character traits that are found in the nature of Christ. We cannot get these without the help of Jesus Christ. Our fruit may grow and flourish or it may wither and die. The choice is yours.
What do you mean, the choice is mine? Very simple, we must join our life to Christ's,we must know him, love him, rememer him, and imitate him. If we do, then we will fufill what Jesus said, to love God and our neighbors. To be accepted by Christ we must turn from our sins and rely only on HIM, JESUS CHRIST.
Verses 19-21 lists the sins we may fall in without Jesus and the Holy Spirit. By accepting Christ as Savior, we will turn from our sins and willingly nail our sinful nature to the cross. Soooooo........
Are you draggin that sinful nature? OR, are you letting the Holy Spirit produce the type of fruit Christ would want? You are a free agent, the choice is yours, the action is yours, may we all be flourishing, ripening fruit and not wither on the vine. Hey, thanks for reading, you are specially fruity to me. Love you all!! If Christ be with us who can be against us!?!?!
In Christ's Love and Grace
