The Fruits of God's Spirit


“When the kingdom of the devil is at its worst and the kingdom of God on earth is at its best, in its purest form – the evil ripe and the good ripe – then will come the harvest.”
Ref Mark 4:26-32
H.A. Baker Visions Beyond the Veil (p. 130)

The Fruits of God's Spirit:

“And when you shall come into the land,
and shall have planted all manner of trees for food,
then shall you count the fruit there as circumcised:
three years shall it be circumcised to you: it shall not be eaten of.
But in the fourth year all the fruit there shall be holy to praise the Lord with.
And in the fifth year you shall eat of the fruit there,
that it may yield to you an increase: I am the Lord your God.”
[Leviticus 19: 23-25]

Love is the Fruit of the Spirit of God.
Out of it come the issues of life:
Joy is love exulting the goodness of God
Peace is the love of God in repose.
Longsuffering is God’s love on trial.
Gentleness is God’s love spread abroad to society.
Goodness is the love of God in action.
Faith is love in endurance.
Meekness is the schoolhouse of love.
Temperance is disciplined love.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,
goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance
against which there is no law.”
Galatians 5:22
