Galatians 5:22-23 New International Version (NIV)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
The product of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, etc. As you focus your mind and your life on God, the Holy Spirit will produce in your life love, joy, peace, etc. You know these are the most important things you will do in your life.
Take a minute and think about it. When you are standing before the judgement seat of Christ, what will you have to show for yourself? At that moment, it will not matter if you owned your home or rented one. It will not matter if you drove a Corvette or a rust bucket. It will not matter if you were dressed in the latest fashions or some dirty rags. The only thing that will matter is…
Matthew 22:37-40 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
37 And He said to him, " 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.'
38 "This is the great and foremost commandment.
39 "The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'
40 "On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."
All the rest will not matter. Did you devote your life to loving God and loving your neighbor? Did you walk in love? Another way to measure your life is by looking in your checkbook. Did you spend your money on yourself or did you use your money to serve God and other people?
The fruit of the Spirit is the result of giving your life to God and to other people. As you serve God and others, you will develop in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. So, let God have His way with you. Serve God with all of your heart, mind, and strength. When you stand before the judgement seat of Christ, you will not have any regrets.
Speak the Word: Father, I devote my life to loving you and loving others. Therefore, I will not have any regrets when I stand before the judgement seat of Christ.
