~ Good Fruit
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV)
You won't find a law in the law books against doing good. When Holy Spirit comes into your heart, He helps produce joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in you. These are all good attributes to have. Now your job is to learn how to live in submission to Holy Spirit's leading.
The easiest way to do this is to meditate on the Word of God and be a person of prayer. In doing so, you allow God to speak to your heart and conform you into His image. Consequently, you will show the world that the fruit, or result, of having Holy Spirit on the inside of you changes you for the better, and helps you follow Jesus' example of how to live your life doing good.
Throughout scripture, we find Jesus teaching the Word of God, healing the sick and preparing for His greatest act of selflessness - His death on the cross for the sins of mankind. But He didn't die to leave us without help. He sent Holy Spirit to help us be like Him. Now, we have all we need to be true representatives of Christ. So go out into the world and show your good fruit today!
Prayer:
Father, I pray that You will help me to display the fruit of the Spirit. Holy Spirit convict me when I am going in a direction that will hinder me from representing Christ in the earth. I pray that You will use me to help others and live a life poured out just as Jesus did. I pray this in the name of Your Son, Jesus. Amen!
