Galatians 5:22-23

Galatians is Paul’s letter to the church he helped create in the town of Galatia. The main reason for this letter was some of the Jewish new Christians were trying to bring the Old Covenant and law into the new Christians lives. Paul was trying to help them understand that the old way and their old self was gone.

Starting at verse 16 in my Bible, it’s titled, “Living by the Spirit’s Power”. Paul was trying to explain how living by our sinful desires is terrible for us. But living by the Spirit is GREAT for us!

This fruit list is something we all need to practice daily… and JOY is one of them! By the way, it’s not plural “fruits” because these attributes make up Christ likeness. This helps confirm us into His image.

We can learn, grow, and exercise all of these fruit daily and that will help our lives!
