Galatians. 5:22-23.
In the
book of Galatians, Paul warned regarding the works of the flesh to the
Galatians believers. Because in the Galatians church do not carrying to their
fellow believer, they are destroying the liberty of joy in Christ; also they
prevent from following the spirit and rejecting which their fellow friends were
trying to do.
The fruit
of the spirit is Love
In Greek
word agape means the love that seeks
only the highest good of others. When we look Old Testament God love has been
poured into the heart of his people. Which the Lord has poured out should also
be passed to their fellow friends. Here clearly state that love means not to
love only our self, but to love one another, as Christ has loved us.
In our
Christian life love is becoming to our closest friends, relative, neighborhood,
but that is not really good for being a Christian to love only to our closest
friends. It is to love one another passionately, this love which we are talking
is not only for special people, it is for the universal people, people who are
walking up and down must love each other, then the love which is mentioning in the
Bible will be the love that we received from the spirit.
The fruit
of the spirit is Joy
In Greek
word chara, which means joy,
gladness, it is closely related to our faith and hope which we received from
God. In 1 Thess. 1:6 it is a blessing that sustain us from the time of
persecution, in our bad days. Joy is coming from Our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ everyone who is in Christ must have joy in their life. Because who ever
led by the Spirit must have joy in their life.
In our
Christian life Joy is the constant presence in our lives. When joy is presence
in our lives, we must have joy together; when we face any difficulties or
something difficult and circumstances we must have joy in our heart. Especially
when facing any problem for working out the gospel we should have joy in our
heart. Joy led us into a better lives and it can give us happiness lives.
