As we continue our journey into God’s orchard in Galatians 5:22-23, the first fruit we come to is Love. Love is very characteristic of the Christian life; it is the quality of which Jesus said to His disciples, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” […]
“The fruit of the Spirit is…” Galatians 5:22. What is fruit? It is one’s off-spring, or the product of any plant; the outward manifestations of the life of the plant, or with animate beings of the parents. Likewise the fruit of the Spirit is the outward manifestation of the God-life of the Holy Spirit within […]
We know that Jesus bore a heavy cross for you and me, a cross that should have been ours, see John 19:17; apparently because of His physically weakened condition He could not continue to bear it alone, so they compelled Simon of Cyrene “to bear it after” him Luke 23:26. While He paid the full […]
2 Corinthians 1:10 says, “Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us.” This verse seems to allude to three stages of salvation, “delivered us” being the moment we were “born again” and sins power over us was broken; “does deliver us” […]
“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given…” Isaiah 9:6. To both the nation of Israel through whom the side of his natural linage came, and also to the Gentiles, thus to the entire human race, as the Scripture says in Luke 2:32 “A light to bring revelation to the […]
Into a world filled with the darkness of evil and hatred, God steps in bringing light with righteousness and love, exact polar opposites! “And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it” John 1:5; the darkness does not understand the light, it cannot control it, neither it can it ever […]
As we look at love through the pages of the New Testament we find that in all except three occasions the word is translated from two Greek words, “Agape” and “Agapao” which convey to us the message of love, affection, benevolence, and loving in a social or moral sense. From these are revealed to us […]
“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift” 2 Corinthians 9:15. When we are given a gift of extraordinary value we return the appropriate action and give sincere thanks to the donor. The fact is that God has given us the greatest gift we mankind could ever wish for or receive when “He gave […]
Philippians 4:4 says “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!” The Greek word here for rejoice according to the original Greek is to be filled with cheerfulness and happiness. And the word “always” means just that, being defined as “every when” or “at all times”; the importance of this in the Christian’s […]
The Bible says “The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness…” Psalm 24:1.Then Colossians 1:16 says “All things were created through Him and for Him, with Psalm 115:11 telling us “…But the earth He has given to the children of men.” We see in Genesis 1:29 that the fruit of the earth is for […]
