Awakened to Deliver – The Fruit of the Spirit, Day 1: What is the Fruit of the Spirit?
Key Verse: Galatians 5:22-23 (NASB 2020) – “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”
Episode Highlights
• Understanding “Fruit” in Scripture: Fruit represents the evidence of what is happening inside us—whether we are walking by the Spirit or the flesh.
• The Contrast Between Flesh and Spirit: Galatians 5 contrasts the works of the flesh with the Fruit of the Spirit, showing how our lives reflect either one or the other.
• Why the Fruit is Singular: The fruit of the Spirit is a unified whole, not separate traits we pick and choose from. Each quality works together as evidence of transformation.
• The Role of the Holy Spirit: The Fruit of the Spirit is not something we produce on our own but is the work of the Holy Spirit as we abide in Christ.
• Evidence of Transformation: The fruit in our lives testifies to God’s work in us, showing how He is shaping us into the image of Christ.
