1 | Are the fruits only from God? | Gal 5:22 | pixie | 74299 | ||
Do these fruits accompany only the spirit? Can a person who is very self controlled show these fruits without the spirit? My husband walked this life ever since I've been with him (11yrs.) and I understand that as far back as age 5 he was this way. Yet he denied God as personal. I've been looking for the comfort to know that I will see him again(he died in Dec. 2002) I think that living a life like this can only come through the power of God. There are too many temptations in this world. He didn't want the things of this world. He drove a junky car, never wore any jewelry or even name brand clothes. He was humble and genuine. I find that impossible without God's special touch. This gives me the hope that The Holy Spirit was holding on to him throughout his life, which gives me hope that He didn't let go of my husband at the end. I'm only one person with perhaps dogmatic ideas. Your thoughts on the fruits of the spirit might be quite comforting.....thanks.....pixie |

2 | Are the fruits only from God? | Gal 5:22 | Searcher56 | 74307 | ||
Pixie, First, I send my condolances. May the you sense our Lord, who comforts all, as you go thru the grieving process. We may be surprised who is and isn't in heaven. We do not know wh is saved. There are those who will say "Lord, Lord ..." and not get in (Matt 7:22-23). There are many who display the fruit of the Spirit who are not Christians. Unless, they are believers, it is not truly the fruit of the Spirit. You husband may have been a Christian, but I cannot say for sure. Searcher |

Thank you Searcher, I've just found a verse that helps me. It is Matthew 7:18. It says a bad tree can not bring forth good fruit. I also think I saw somewhere in the bible that without the spirit you can't live like this but I'm not sure where it is so I'm still looking. Thanks again for your caring answer.......pixie |
