This Easter have you celebrated and honored the true meaning of Easter?
What are the signs that you are renewed in the Spirit and that the Holy Spirit is alive within you?
The fruit of the Spirit* within frees us to receive and keep in step with the Spirit.
Without the fruit, there is no root to the Holy and the consecrated.
Therefore, nurture the fruit of the Spirit within you and grow with the fruit in faith that works through love.
“For freedom, Christ has set us free; stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
For through the Spirit, by faith, we eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.
For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.
You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?
For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.”
- Galatians 5:1,5-7,13-15
Keep in Step with the Spirit
“For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
*The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; against such things, there is no law.
And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.”
- Galatians 5:16-25
Finally, do you belong to the Lord?
And are you in step with the Holy Spirit?
