Part 4 - Episode 85 - WOAC presents Self-Control, Faithfulness - Fruits of the Spirit.

Faithfulness is an act of self based on revelation we have of God in our lives. Rev 12.11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death

Faith on the other hand is produced from God - not works In Scripture, faith and belief are not exactly the same. Faith always comes from God and involves His revelation therefore faith is beyond belief! Faith is God's work; faith is never the work of people. We cannot produce faith ourselves, nor can we "drum it up at will." Rather, faith comes as Christ speaks His rhçma-word within (see Ro 10:17, Gk text).(biblehub)

Self-control - is the grace of God that enables us to resist temptations that will cause us to act contrary to God’s ways examples of out of control is acts of rage, inability to resist sexual temptations, stealing, addictions.

Conclusion : How does walking in the Spirit look on You?Paul writes to the Galatians churches and He introduces his letter to them as follows:

Galatians 1 To the churches of Galatia:

3Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, 4who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 5to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Only One Gospel - 6I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert[a] the gospel of Christ. 8But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be [b]accursed. 9As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. 10For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

False doctrine labeled as part of Christian faith exposed in The Gospel Coalition (TGC)

How to avoid the trap of false doctrines1. Accept Jesus Christ is the life giving Spirit (Giver of Eternal life)

John 20.30 And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; 31but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

1 Cor 15.45 And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

2. Accept Jesus as God the Savior of the world - John 3.16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

3. Accept there is one God represented as 3 persons - Trinity

Matthew 28.16 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19Go [c]therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the S
