Those Who Are Christ’s Have Crucified The Flesh (Galatians 5:22-25)

“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 5:22-25)

The Holy Spirit is a gift from Jesus to all who receive Him. He said He will will not leave us orphans but will send His Holy Spirit to us. When we receive Jesus and He indwells in us, the Holy Spirit starts to give us the power to live fruitful lives. Our growth is not gained based on how much good we do, but it’s an outpouring of Jesus’ life in us in the Holy Spirit to be Holy as He is holy. Growing the fruit of the Spirit in our lives is evidence of these internal changes.

When we nurture our relationship with Father God, and His Son Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit, we bear fruits of His righteousness in us. Growing the fruit of the Spirit is like growing a muscle. We have to choose to use it if we want to see any growth. We have to exercise our faith and trust that in Jesus we have the power to overcome all evil spirits that attack us. We have everything we need for growth.

Our growth will make us more compassionate, more empathetic, kinder, more joyful, more peaceful, and gentler, with the common strand of love. As we choose to be mature, we rely on the Holy Spirit to produce His fruit in us. By the Holy Spirit's power, we see many changes in our lives day by day and we see evidence of this growth and the impact it makes on others.

We find ourselves full of Jesus’ sacrificial love and even able to love our enemies. We  live in peace with all people. We forgive those who trespass against us as Jesus forgives us everyday. We are joyful even in the time of trouble and trial trusting in Jesus’ power to intervene in His perfect time to change our circumstances. We are gentle and bear others weaknesses as Jesus bears our weakness. We  become merciful as Jesus is.

Saint James said in His epistle, chapter three, “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.” In other words we will be transformed to be in Jesus’ image and likeness. Amen.
