In 2nd Corinthians 3:18 it says that we are being “transformed into his image.” But the question remains- how do we end up bring shaped into the image and likeness of Jesus? And what does the image and likeness of Jesus even look like? Galatians 5:22-23- the Scripture text that talks about the Fruit of the Spirit, give us an idea of what it looks like to live out the image and likeness of Jesus in our own lives and out into the world.

In week 6 of our Fruit of the Spirit series we looked at the fruit of forbearance through two lenses. The first being a vertical forbearance found in two Scriptures- Romans 2:3-4 and 2 Peter 3:9. The second being a horizontal forbearance found in Galatians 5:22-23, Ephesians 4:2 and Colossians 3:13.
