The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Galatians 5:22,23

Title: The fruit of the Spirit


Never mind if they possessed them or not, but people have the idea what to look for and expect from a Christian. It could be some sort of an irony that an unbeliever, who is aware of what comes naturally from man: the works of the flesh, knows that a child of God must be loving, joyful, a peacemaker, longsuffering, generally good-mannered, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled. What links us to God is His Spirit in us. What defines us to the world is its fruit in our lives.
