Galatians 5:19-26
Works Of The Flesh
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Fruit Of The Spirit
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Love, Walter and Debbie
amen love this post !!! Paul’s other letters add to it
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in
us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For
they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; ( works of the flesh )
but
they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. ( fruits of the spirit )
For
to be carnally minded is death; but to be
spiritually minded is life and peace. Therefore,
brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”
Romans 8:1-6, 12-13 KJV
then other places add more
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For
he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption;
but
he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.”
Galatians 6:7-8 KJV
“This I say then,
Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall
not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But
if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.”
Galatians 5:13-18 KJV
Hearing and believing the gospel of the kingdom produces the fruits
“When any one
heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh
the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.” ( seed is rejected )
Matthew 13:19 KJV
“But he tha
t received the seed into stony places, the same is
he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.”
Matthew 13:20-21
“He also that received seed among the thorns is he that
heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.”
Matthew 13:22 KJV
things Jesus taught like for instance this
“But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
Luke 6:35-38
produces the fruits of the spirit , mercy forgiveness , acceptance and non judgement , generoucity
the fruits of this
“It is
the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
John 6:63 KJV
Jesus teaches true brotherly love , kindness , giving , sharing , helping , mercy , forgiveness , to us who aren’t perfect these are the fruits of the spirit
is we believe the gospel this happens
“But he that received seed into the good ground is
he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an
hundredfold, some
sixty, some
thirty.”
Matthew 13:23 KJV
Different measures and even kinds of fruit but it’s believing the lord that brings us to the fruits holding onto those things he said like “don’t judge and you won’t be judged , forgive and you will be forgiven , give and you will receive greater measure , don’t condemn nd you won’t be condemned “
If we follow after that it’s going to automatically produce some “fruits of the spirit “the more we can handle and are willing to apply , the more he’ll give us and more fruits well Bear for him
Fruits of hearing and believing the gospel, would Be another way to think of it
“for the hope which is
laid up for you in heaven, whereof
ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the
grace of God in truth:”
Colossians 1:5-
believing the gospel truly changes us if we learn from Jesus
