1. The fruit of the Spirit (22,23)
When God's Spirit is in us, and we yield to his gentle leading, then good fruit is produced in our hearts and lives. Love, joy and peace--the things that all people want--are there. Instead of being irritable and impatient, we are patient and kind. The Spirit helps us be faithful and self-controlled. Think about the practical meaning in your own life of each of the fruits of the Spirit.
2. The sinful nature crucified (24-26)
We belong to Christ when we come to him with repentance and faith, and we are united with him in his death and resurrection by the work of the Holy Spirit. So the sinful nature, with its passions and desires, is nailed to the cross. We must claim this promise by faith, and by faith we must keep in step with the Spirit. We have no reason to be proud; as forgiven sinners, we must love and respect one another.
Prayer: Lord, nail my sinful desires to the cross and fill me with your Spirit. Grant the fruit of the Spirit in my life.
One Word: The fruit of the Spirit
