Galatians 5:22 & 23, is probably the most memorable verses and are those that list the "fruit of the Spirit." Fruit results from planted seeds. When seeds grow they bear fruit. Fruit represents outward, visible behavior: Every Leader/Believer should embrace this marvelous list of inward qualities. Evaluate yourself against them:
Love: is my life motivated by love for people?
Joy: Do I exhibit an unshakable joy, regardless of circumstances?
Peace: Do people see my inward peace and take courage?
Long-suffering: Do I wait patiently for results as I develop people or goals?
Kindness: Am I caring and understanding toward everyone I meet?
Goodness: Do I want the best for others and the organization?
Faithfulness: Have I kept my commitments to the mission?
Gentleness: Is my strength under control? Can I be both tough and tender?
Self-Control: Am I disciplined to make progress toward my goals?
Jesus said in Matthew 7:17 & 18, "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."
Let us work out our Salvation with fear and trembling and produce fruits of righteousness unto our Savior the Lord Jesus Christ.
I am praying for you and believe that the Lord will fulfill His purposes and promises in your life.
God bless you.
Agape,
Pastor Samuel Tressler
