Scripture Reading:
Ephesians 5:9
The Christian life is
meant to be one of joy, peace and victory. The secret of this victory
in our daily walk is two-fold. First, we must recognize the program
and instructions God has given for this dispensation in which we are
living. This body of truth will be found only in Paul's epistles, for
he alone received God's revelation concerning this secret age (Romans
16:25 and Ephesians 3:2-3, 9). Once we understand how we are to live
in this dispensation of the Grace of God, we must acknowledge the
second phase of the victorious Christian life, which is submitting to
the direction and empowering of the Holy Spirit in our lives. He
indwells us from the moment of our salvation. His ministry in us is
to help our infirmities (Romans 8:26) and produce His fruit in our
lives (Galatians 5:22-23).
One of the mistakes made
by many Christians is that they strive to produce the fruit of the
Spirit by their own works. These attitudes and activities are to be
natural and automatic in our Christian walk. The fruit of the Spirit
is proof of the Christian living by his new nature. It is also
important we understand that what is described in Galatians 5:22-23
is ONE FRUIT. (This fruit is like an orangone fruit with many
segments.) Unless at least some of these segments are evident in the
life of the Christian, he does not have the "fruit of the
Spirit."
Paul tells us more about
this fruit of the Holy Spirit in his letter to the saints at Ephesus.
In Ephesians 5:9, Paul tells us he fruit of the Spirit is in all
goodness and RIGHT- EOUSNESS and truth." The fruit of the Spirit
is seen in the ighteous walk experienced by the Spirit-led Christian.
This righteousness is that IMPARTED righteousness we have ecause of
being IN CHRIST.
