CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES: IT’S IN THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT – JUST LIVE AND WALK IN HIM!
Until one begins to WALK IN THE SPIRIT as one LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, the true CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES and its realities of the Spirit can’t be actualized in the fullness of God’s given grace. It thus means, you can’t just lay claim to HAVE LOVE for example if you can’t WALK IN LOVE, or have goodness, peace, patience, and more within you, if you can’t walk in goodness, peace, patience, and more with others. One needs to both LIVE and WALK the WALK within, in the Spirit, and not just the TALK.
So, as we take on to do life daily and the week to week, to turn into another week to week, it’s time to TRANSLATE your God-given fruit of the Spirit by WALKING in them as you LIVE consciously in them. That’s how the CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES are FORMATTED within us.
Enjoy your day folks, because ‘a new day is dawn’ for a new you and the best life, for a greater you. DO THE LIVING and THE WALKING and not just in a mere TALK or TALKING of it.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 15 but if I tarry long, that thou mayest KNOW how thou OUGHTEST to BEHAVE (CONDUCT) thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:14-16 Emphasis Mine.
“I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye WALK worthy of the VOCATION wherewith ye are CALLED, 2 with all LOWLINESS and MEEKNESS, with LONGSUFFERING, FORBEARING one another in LOVE; 3 ENDEAVOURING to keep the UNITY of the Spirit in the bond of PEACE” Ephesians 4:1-3.
“This I say then, WALK IN THE SPIRIT, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh . . . 22 But the FRUIT of the Spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, 23 GENTLENESS, SELF-CONTROL. Against such, there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT” Galatians 5:16, 22-25.
“For a GOOD TREE bringeth not forth CORRUPT FRUIT; neither doth a CORRUPT TREE bring forth GOOD FRUIT. 44 For every tree is known by his OWN fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the ABUNDANCE of the heart his MOUTH speaketh” Luke 6:43-45 (Matthew 12:32-34).
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD report; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK on these things” Philippians 4:8.
