Fruits of the Spirit

Fruits of the Spirit- One of the greatest truths of the bible in most versions is by their fruits you shall know them. What 

is this fruit often we have heard Adam was tempted by Eve to eat of the forbidden fruit and that old testament version

of original sin. The fruit we are talking about is more in a spiritual sense and is good. These are love, joy, peace, long suffering , gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance as written in early christian church writings. We should look for these things in ourselves and strife to achieve them with the help of the Holy Spirit. I will go even further as to say they are not achievable without God's help. We seem to think we can be humanitarian and

that may be all that is needed but as good as it sounds , humanitarian efforts are not sustainable without help. You may lift a person out of poverty for a day but what is needed is something that can give sustenance throughout life journey, man cannot live by bread alone. Survival of the fittest is an Aryan culture belief that only the strong are worthy of survival. Yet many persons deaf , blind and handicapped have added great contributions to society and we

should not look upon them as deficient but as one on the the same life journey. The real ones that are handicapped

are those lacking the fruit of the spirit. These will be gone into more detail as each has its importance we will study

also the pea in the pod.
