Christian are you?
“But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But 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 5:18-25
Question Christian, Is there any sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, idolatry and witchcraft in your life?
Question two; Do you have hatred for anyone even your enemy?
Do you sow discord among people?
Are you jealous of people, inclined to fits of anger or rage?
Do you have selfish ambitions at work or in other areas of your life?
Do you envy people? How about getting drunk or attending orgies?
Have you ever took time to be completely alone with God and asked Him to show you the sin in your life, however small?
We Christians are far from perfect. However if we truly love the Lord we are progressing. So my next question is,
Are people seeing the fruits of the Spirit in your life, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control?
And finally, are you following the words of the Apostle Peter who said,
“Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.’”
1 Peter 2:12.
Please think about it.
