On Sunday morning, we considered the fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5:16-26. Paul describes the Christian life like a battle. On the one hand, we are sinful people who want selfish and evil things. On the other hand, we have the Holy Spirit living in us, and we want things that honour God and make us more like Jesus. We used to live in ways that only benefitted us, giving into our desires and leading to division with others. Now, due to God's work, we can produce fruit that builds others up and honours God. Paul encourages us to understand that we can cultivate this fruit, we can pray and encourage others and listen to God's word and take part in the sacraments. We should resist temptation and work on godly fruit. This is possible for us, and it is all God's work that makes it possible. Take time to reflect on sins you often find yourself doing. Ask God for help with them. You can say no. Work hard on becoming more godly, and remember that God loves to work through His Spirit to do this.
