22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. <\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

fruit \u2014 result of the power of the Holy Spirit operating in believers. Fruit, unlike works, draws on the inward power of the Spirit.<\/h3>\n

love (agape) \u2014 self-sacrifice for the benefit of the one loved. (1 Corinthians 13<\/span><\/a>)<\/h3>\n

peace \u2014 peace of <\/em>God in our hearts \u2014 not peace with <\/em>God (that comes with justification) \u2014 tranquility based on knowing one is in a right relationship with God.<\/h3>\n

longsuffering \u2014 the opposite of short-tempered \u2014 restraint in the face of provocation<\/h3>\n

kindness \u2014 goodness in action \u2014 expressing goodness with deeds<\/h3>\n

goodness \u2014 very similar to gentleness, but perhaps with more of an edge \u2014 intervention for someone’s sake<\/h3>\n

faithfulness \u2014 trustfulness \u2014 believing the best about God and others \u2014 not suspicious<\/h3>\n

gentleness \u2014 not self-assertive or self-interested \u2014 not elated or depressed because not occupied with self at all<\/h3>\n

self-control \u2014 in all things \u2014 denying appetites for the sake of the prize \u2014 mastery of one’s desires<\/h3>\n

The first three fruits are directed God-ward, the second three toward others and the last three toward self<\/h3>\n

against such (v.23) \u2014 things like these \u2014 the list is not exhaustive<\/h3>\n

there is no law (v.23) \u2014 The law has no place, and no scope, for action in one who is walking in the Spirit.<\/h3>\n

As the believer takes account of things true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and of good report, the worthy things and the pleasing things, he is taking account of Christ, for the things that were to be seen in Paul were the things that Paul had seen in Christ (Philippians 4:8-9<\/span><\/a>; 1 Corinthians 11:1<\/span><\/a>). The ideal Christian life is an extension of the life of the Lord Jesus; the things that in the days of His flesh He manifested in His own way among men, He manifests now by the power of His Spirit in the lives of His people. \u2014 Vine, page 254<\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
