AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 13:5 ¶ Test and evaluate yourselves to see whether you are in the faith and living your lives as [committed] believers. Examine yourselves [not me]! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves [by an ongoing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you--unless indeed you fail the test and are rejected as counterfeit? |

Bible Note: Dear JVH0212, The first thing that comes to mind is the fruit of the Spirit. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." Galatians 5:22,23 NASB Bear in mind that false versions of all of these are available in the world. For instance, smug, self-satisfaction in place of peace; Emotions or carnality in place of love; drink or drug-induced joy, etc. The fruit of the Spirit is lasting, and not dependent on external circumstance, but the indwelling of the Spirit of God. I am sure there are more, and I look forward to hearing from others. In Jesus' name, charis |
