Glorious Priorities:
Embracing the Fruit of the Spirit
For the last several months we’ve been looking at how we can do a better job of embracing different aspects of our Christian life. This month I wanted to look at how we should live as we wait expectantly for His return.
While we might all have different thoughts on when Jesus will return, we can all agree that we live in a very different world than what our parents experienced. Some would say it’s better; others would say it’s worse.The interesting thing is, both then and now, God’s Word is the same yesterday, today and forever.
The churches in Galatia were experiencing a different world than when Paul had planted them just a few short years before. False teachers were coming in and demanding that these new believers perform additional religious requirements in order to obtain full Christian status.
So, Paul writes his letter to the Galatian Christians and simply asked them to compare their actions and attitudes to the fruit of the Spirit, which is this month’s theme verse:
"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." Galatians 5:22-23
Did you notice that “fruit” is singular? Paul was saying that we are to have all nine attributes in unity as one singular fruit. This month’s Box looks at how we can embrace and prioritize the fruit of the Spirit in a very “different” world. This month we are going to focus on embracing your identity.
