“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
Galatians 5:22-23 KJV
Paul explains that our spirit effortlessly bears the rich harvest of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, integrity, gentleness and self control; all these individually reveal the irresistible attraction of the inner-life of our design. Legalism can neither match nor contradict this. There is no law against love! These are not the fading, fragile emotions produced by willpower. This is the fruit of what we know in our spirit to be true about ourselves. Fruit is the effortless, spontaneous expression of the character of the Tree of Life. We rest in the awareness and assurance of who we really are! Love does not compete with law; love is extravagant in its exhibition of the Christ life. It flows effortlessly from the Christ life within us! Thank You Holy Spirit!
