Hebrew Roots/Separation unto the Lord/Fruit/The Fruit of the Spirit The “fruit of the Spirit” is a term given to the evidence in the life of a believer of the nature of the Spirit of Yahweh God dwelling in them. It is the outward manifestation of His Spirit within them.
BE DOERS, NOT JUST HEARERS (practical application):
- Ask yourself the hard question: would others use the word “gentle” to describe you?
- Practice the art of pause like we talked about in patience. Pause before you respond in a heated moment and then craft your words and your tone in a way that displays mercy, restoration, unity.
- Who are the people in your life that you need to work on being more gentle?
