When Jesus was on earth he knew that his time would be short, so He promised to send His Holy Spirit to comfort us. Every day as we live our lives we will go through trials and tribulations, but God has promised to help us out if we have faith and call on him. As we grow in God, we look to take on his characteristics of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. All of this can be accomplished by trusting in God and claiming the promise of the Holy Spirit sent from God.

 

16 [This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Galatians 5:16-25
