DAY 230:

“The Holy Spirit leads and guides us into all truth, and in addition to Jesus, He comforts us! He also shows us things that are to come. Which is why it is so important to develop the fruits of the Sprit in our heart and character. They will strengthen us in our process and help us attain our divine purpose and destiny.

‘But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law,’ (Galatians 5:22-23).

Despite talking about how much we desire to be more like Jesus or answering the infamous question, ‘what would Jesus do,’ the truth is, without the fruit of the Holy Spirit operating in our lives we will fail miserably in our attempts to become more like Jesus, never mind understanding what He would do in every situation.

Religion bases everything Jesus would do, on the law, but when we look at the fruit of the Spirit… ‘against such there is no law.’ Let’s take a closer look at the meaning of each of these fruits.

According to Strong’s:

• love is: love that is affection or benevolence; specifically (plural) a love feast: – (feast of) charity ([-ably]) dear love.)


• joy is: cheerfulness that is calm delight: – gladness X greatly (X be exceedingly) joy (-ful – fully – fulness – ous).


• peace is: Probably from a primary verb (to join); peace (literally or figuratively); by implication prosperity: – one peace quietness rest + set at one again.


• longsuffering is: longanimity that is (objectively) forbearance or (subjectively) fortitude: – longsuffering patience.


• gentleness is: usefulness that is moral excellence (in character or demeanor): – gentleness good (-ness) kindness.


• goodness is: goodness that is virtue or beneficence: – goodness.


• faith is: persuasion that is credence; moral conviction (of religious truth or the truthfulness of God or a religious teacher) especially reliance upon Christ for salvation; abstractly constancy in such profession; by extension the system of religious (Gospel) truth itself: – assurance belief believe faith fidelity.


• Meekness is: gentleness, mildness, meekness


• temperance is: self control (especially continence): – temperance. Thayer’s: self-control (the virtue of one who masters his desires and passions, esp. his sensual appetites)
