Fruit of the Spirit

 

 Scripture Deuteronomy 26:11-Then . . .  you shall rejoice in all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your household.

Galatians 5:16-I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Galatians 5:22-25 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
