Galatians 5:22-23
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
Galatians 5:16 "So I say, live by the Spirit and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. 17 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.”
When I first read 5:17 I miss read it to say “ So you do not know what to do.” I can spend way too much time on indecision! 5:17 explains; “so you do not do what you want.” It’s a constant battle we each face; obey our sinful nature or the Holy Spirit. In order to discern the Holy Spirit, I have to read the Word and pray daily. If I get way from either of these I am more prone to obey my sinful nature than the Holy Spirit. Personally when I live in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control my life is much better!! 😇🙏❤️
