The Evidence of a Spirit-Filled Life (Galatians 5: 19-25)

The Epistle to the Galatians, chapter five, we read, “Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. 

Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:19-25)

Apostle Paul makes it so clear for us as believers, to know if we are walking in the Spirit or in the flesh. 

He gives us the list of actions by which we can realize the acts of the flesh in us verses the acts of the Spirit.

The fruit of the Spirit is the outward, visible and godly attitudes displayed in a believer’s life, that evidences the inward, invisible presence of the Holy Spirit.

These characteristics stand in an obvious contrast to the fruits, or acts, of the flesh.

The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies. St. Paul warns us that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Then he listed the fruit of the Spirit, which are love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

He continues to tell us how to get rid of these fleshly acts and that by crucifying the flesh with its passions and desires.

May our Lord Jesus Christ gives us the power to crucify every bad attitude and action in us and be transformed to be holy and righteous inside and outside.

Amen
