From Glory to Glory ( Study 33 )

Walking By The Spirit #3

The Fruit of the Spirit

It is one of the main purposes of the Christian life to progressively allow the Holy Spirit to produce more and more of His fruit in our lives—and to allow the Holy Spirit to conquer the opposing sinful desires. 

The Christian life is a battle of the sinful flesh against the new nature given by Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). As fallen human beings, we are still trapped in a body that desires sinful things (Romans 7:14-25). As Christians, we have the Holy Spirit producing His fruit in us and we have the Holy Spirit’s power available to conquer the acts of the sinful nature (2 Corinthians 5:17; Philippians 4:13).

One of the primary purposes of the Holy Spirit coming into a Christian’s life is to change that life. It is the Holy Spirit’s job to conform us to the image of Christ, making us more like Him.

Abba Father, the fruit of the Spirit is what You desire our lives to exhibit, and, with the Holy Spirit’s help, it is possible!

Indeed the fruit of the Holy Spirit is the result of the Holy Spirit’s presence in our lives.

May we overcome our flesh life not in our own feeble strength but in the power of the Holy Spirit in us.
