Post #331: The Fruit of the Spirit | KJV Right Division (Week 12)

Post 331 · Day 81-3: Galatians 5:22-23 – The Fruit of the Spirit

Who This Is For: Grace-age believers in the Body of Christ who desire to finish strong, endure faithfully, and hear "Well done" at the Judgment Seat of Christ.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” — Galatians 5:22-23 KJV

The fruit of the Spirit is singular — one fruit with nine expressions. It is grown, not manufactured. The Spirit produces it; the believer maintains the soil. Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance — and against such there is no law, for law cannot produce what only the Spirit can grow.

Right Division: Right Division: 'Against such there is no law' is the grace-age declaration of freedom. The fruit of the Spirit supersedes law because it fulfills law's intent without law's external pressure. The Law demanded love; the Spirit produces it. The Law commanded righteousness; the Spirit grows it. In the grace age, the Spirit-filled life is the answer to the Law's requirements — not by abolishing the standard but by achieving it through an entirely different power source.

Application: Assess the nine fruits: which one is most abundant in your life right now? Which one is most deficient? Focus your prayer and cooperation with the Spirit this week on the deficient fruit. You cannot manufacture it — but you can remove the things that grieve the Spirit and choke the growth. Create the conditions; the Spirit does the growing.

Prayer: Lord, let us not be weary in well doing. Strengthen us by Your Spirit in the inner man. Let us run with patience the race set before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. Help us to finish strong — not by our strength but by Yours. In Christ's name. Amen.
