The Fruit of the Spirit-introduction

I was reading through Galatians 5 the other day and it is in this passage that it talks about the acts of the sinful nature and the fruit of the spirit. Something that has become increasingly clear to me is the fact that there are many acts of a sinful nature, but these 9 virtues are referred to as fruit-singular, indicating that when the spirit is in you/your life all 9 should be apparent.

I am therefore aiming to write a blog on each of the virtues that make up the fruit of the spirit. As I have already written a blog on love the blogs will come in the following order


1)Joy


2) Peace


3)Patience


4) Kindness


5) Goodness


6) Gentleness


7) Faithfulness


8) Self-Control.

I will try my hardest to look into them in detail, as this will help me study the bible and what it truely means to bear the fruit of the spirit in depth and therefore help myself and you apply these principles to our lives.
