Fruit of the Spirit

The fruit of the spirit is evidence that a person is filled with the Holy Spirit.

Being filled with the Spirit means to be controlled by Him. In other words, a person who is filled with the Spirit of God will obey God and His Word. He will live a sanctified and pure life.

In Galatians 5:22,23, the Apostle Paul lists the fruit of the Holy Spirit. He wrote, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.''

Here is the divine test that we can use to judge if a person is walking in the Spirit or not. This is the divine test that we can use to judge if we are walking in the Spirit or not. A person who is Spirit filled must demonstrate these characteristics because they are Spirit given.

The closer a person is to God and the more mature as a Christian he becomes, the easier it will be to detect the Spirit's fruit within his life. By this we should judge our Christian walk. It is our day to day lives that show how close to God we are.
