Attributes

Attributes
The apostle Paul writing to believers in Christ Jesus states,
“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 5:19-25.
Put briefly the apostle Paul defines the attributes of a Christian life. He states,
“...the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, 
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  
gentleness and self-control....”
If you claim to be a believer in Christ Jesus are these the attributes those around you see?
Please think carefully about it.
