Are their degrees of reward? Are there least and greatest in Heaven? This concept is widely accepted but is there Biblical support for such?

We take a closer look at 1 Peter 1:13-15 "Be Holy, for I am Holy."

The final listing in Gal 5 is a term that threads through the rest of those listed prior. In Control takes strength, sometimes courage, sometimes sacrifice, and even at our best we can find challenges. Let's consider the reasons this fruit is the anchor for the others.

Nicodemus comes to Christ with a bold proclamation. Yet Christ didn't applaud his statement but countered with a truth regarding rebirth that seemed to confuse Nicodemus even as it does today.

Nearing the end of the list of the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5 ins "Goodness." Some during the time of Christ thought this quality was not highly desired rather a sign of weakness. Yet this characteristic is one show frequently by Christ. Like the rest, this fruit has more depth that we sometimes give.

Life events can shake our core. Such was experienced by Isaiah that brought God back into the place he should be. This application is a powerful reminder of not just the love of our God, but the reasons we need Him.

We continue into the listing of the Fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5 where we are looking at faithful. This is another term that Bible student know, but the extent of this fruit goes deeper and farther than we might think.

One of the fruit of the Spirit is Goodness. Does this carry the weight as love and peace? In our study this week, we will see that it has capacity to strengthen most all other areas.

A lesson from the book of Acts, application from the first century to our time, examples that work and encouragement when things don't always add up in our favor.
