Goodness is the sixth principle in Apostle Paul’s fruit of the Spirit. Joy is the reward for doing good. One of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve found in God’s kingdom is righteousness. When I obey the Lord, goodness surfaces, and I discover an incredible jubilance. God fills my heart with...

Confession pleases God. Yes, when we admit to Him our sins, He takes notice. Inside God’s gift of salvation, the light of Christ shines inside our hearts, and the action of confession emerges. One of the earliest realizations of redemption is knowing God’s unfavorable stance on unconfessed sin...

Our journey through Paul’s fruit of the Spirit continues. We see how love, joy, peace, and patience are characteristics of salvation. Today, we add kindness to our faith. Kindness comforts the soul. Graciousness brings warmth to our hearts and leaves us with a feeling of love. God packed this...

It’s difficult accepting the painful truth of sin. No, I want to overlook this ugly side of reality. But I can’t escape sin, and it is devastating consequences. In fact, without acknowledging my transgressions, my relationship with Christ stays elusive. And the truth about sin remains hidden...

We can agree that God’s grace is sovereign and worth pursuing. Nothing the world offers matches the Lord’s holiness. When God shed His grace on our hearts, it unlatched the door to His kingdom. And the moment we entered, our Father placed our spirit inside Christ. When Jesus preached His...

Christ’s Peace One of the most remarkable characteristics of the fruits of the Spirit is receiving God’s peace. This peace brings an inward calmness, unlike the world’s peace. It’s in Christ we find this profound serenity. Apostle Paul’s epistle to the Romans shows us God’s peace comes through...

Welcome back to the Fruit of the Spirit series. Last week, we unmasked the three characteristics of love. Today, we look at eternal joy. Embracing God’s Joy The exciting part of embracing God’s joy comes from our love for Him. We know this truth because Christ disclosed this to His Disciples...

God designed love with three characteristics. The first disposition of love is Himself. Next, the love between husband and wife shows intimacy and the ability to partner with God to create new life. The third type of love is between neighbors. Love is referenced over three hundred times...

Christ left us with many excellent parables to help us understand how to live in God's will. One of the ones that I love is the Prodigal Son. It shows me how loving God is to those who repent and live in Christ.

What is our holy purpose? Obedience? An active faith? Spreading Christ's Gospel? Those are a few of God's commandments, and without them, I stop growing in Christ's image. But they are secondary to the Lord's most precious want. Glorification. Our primary purpose is to glorify God...
