Welcome! Were glad youre here!
2But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, and self-control. Against such
things there is no law. Those who belong to
Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature
with its passions and desires. Since we live by
the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
Galatians 522-25
3We need The Holy Spirit living in us to help us
bear fruit! Fruit can only be produced as we
yield to God and allow His spirit to work.
I am the true vine, and my Father is the
gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that
bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear
fruit He prunes so that it will be even more
fruitful. John 151-2
