The fruits of the Spirit are pretty much guide lines to show you how you should act. You need a Christ like attitude. The fruits of the Spirit are listed in the bible and you should follow each and every one no matter what kind of mood you are in at the moment. They are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control, and goodness. Have you ever heard of the phrase, “You reap what you sow?” It means if you live by sinful nature and put that kind of impact on other people you will get destruction in return meaning you will get back bad things like hell. But when you live by the fruits of the Spirit you will get Eternal life in return.
Galations 5:9 says, “Do not become weary in doing good for at the proper time you will reap a harvest if you do not give up.” That is pretty much saying that if you do not give up and keep on doing good you will get a benefit at the right time.
I can live by the fruit of the Spirit by lending I helpful hand and being kind. I struggle living by the Spirit by fighting with my sister. I need to call upon the Lord to help me have more self-control over my actions.

We have learned over the past two weeks of the fruits of the spirit. The fruits of the spirit are the guidelines of the ways you should act. The fruits of the spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control.

You live by the fruits of the spirit by doing what they say. You have to be loving, be joyful, be peaceful, and all the other stuff. You have to live by them because they are the guidelines of the way you should act. If you are acting by the fruits of the spirit you are having a Christ like attitude. That is the way Jesus wants you to act.

Well if you live by your sinful nature you will have destruction and go to hell. Well if you live by the fruits of the spirit at the proper time we will reap a harvest and we will go to heaven.

The bible verse that helps me is Gal.6vs9. The verse means that we should not become weary in doing good for at the proper time we will reap a harvest and we will go to heaven.

I live personally by the spirit by loving and being joyful and peaceful and the other stuff. The most help I need is on kindness, joyful, patience, and a little self-control.

~FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT~
The fruits of the spirit are guide-lines to what we must act like. We are to act with LOVE, as in when your brother or sister starts crying, tell them it’s okay or tell them you are there with them and how you will help them. You should also act with JOY = )!
You should always be very happy with what you have and not be mad or sad, but it IS okay to be sad when something happens to someone or something that you love. Also act with PEACE. Peace is when your older/younger brother/sister starts a fight with you. You can make PEACE with them.
You should also have PATIENCE, which means you always wait for someone to do something or let them go ahead of you. Next is KINDNESS. Be happy when you are kind to someone. =) Do not be = ( (sad) or = P (mean). Give people nice gifts on their birthday even if you do not like them. Next is GOODNESS. Be good to the people around you and always, think of them first. The next one is FAITHFULNESS. Be FAITHFUL to God and keep praying hard, reading the Bible, going to church, and doing devotions. The next is GENTLENESS. Be gentle to all pets and even to people. The next is SELF CONTROL. Have control over your body. Fruits of the spirit are also what we say. When someone says something mean to us, don’t say something mean back. We also have to act according to this Bible verse that in Galatians 6:5- “Let us not become weary of doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
The last four words in that verse tell a lot to me. DO NOT GIVE UP. What also says a lot abut that verse is DO NOT BECOME WEARY OF DOING GOOD. The verse also means for us to keep doing good, no matter what. That verse was from the NIV Bible, by the way. I try to live by the fruits of the spirit as much as I can by praying that God will help me do so. It also says in the Bible, NIV version, that we shouldn’t give up- if we do, we will reap destruction. In other words, we shouldn’t act according to our sinful nature; we should act according to the fruits of the spirit. I sometimes struggle with JOY because my brother makes me unhappy. I also struggle with PEACE because my brother and I always get in fights about who is better at guitar hero, even though he plays medium and I play hard/expert. He also plays real guitar and he says that counts.
Sometimes he has friends over and he likes to impress them by hurting and annoying me a ton. Then after doing that for awhile, they all go somewhere in my brother’s Mustang V8 GT and most of the time I have a huge mess to clan up. I have lost my Love, my Joy, my Peace, my Patience, and most of all, LLLOOOOVVVVEEE!!!!!=( But then I realize this all just my brother’s problem and he should fix it. When the mess is cleaned up, I know I have done the right thing at the end of the whole thing.

The fruits of the spirit is the 7 things that we should do in life to have a Christ like attitude. They are Joy, Peace, Love, Goodness, Kindness, Faithfulness, and Self-Control. If you live according to the fruits of the spirit you must be to people or love one and other as you would like them to do to you. If you were in a bad situation you can walk through it with God. And never for get to have Joy. If you don’t, you will fall into the hands of sinful nature then God Sends you to hell. But if you don’t fall in to sinful nature you will live an eternal life in heaven! Galatians 6:9 says “Do not become weary in doing good if you do you will fall in to the hand of sinful nature for if you don’t you will get the gift of God which is eternal life in heaven. This verse helps me remember to stay on track and do what is right in Gods eyes. I live by the fruits of the spirit by always trying to be nice to my friends. But I struggle with keeping my self-control when my sister’s being mean to me.

The Fruits of the Spirit are the guidelines that we should follow to live a good life. They are the way we should treat others. The actual Fruits of the Spirit are Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-Control. Living according to the Fruits of the Spirit means to always act according to them. We should always act according to them because at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we don’t give up. We should never act according to our sinful nature because if we do we shall reap destruction. If we act according to the Fruit of the Spirit we will reap eternal life. I live by the Spirit by not doing bad or hurting someone. The verse is, “Let us not become weary of doing good for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up”. What that means is if we don’t get lazy or tired of doing good we will get something in return.

The Fruits of the spirit are the way we should act. The way we should act is with a Christ like attitude, and the fruit of the spirit is…
Love, Joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentle, faithfulness, self-control. Living by the fruits of the spirit is like living with God. In Galatians 6:9 tells about the fruit of the spirit. It says don’t become weary of doing good for you will reap a harvest of Eternal life. So it says if we don’t give up and go to the sinful nature we will be rewarded with Eternal life. The sinful nature is with satin. The fruit of the spirit is with God, only if we don’t become weary of doing good. If we life according to the sinful nature we will be rewarded with bad. If we live according to the fruits of the spirit we will be rewarded with Eternal life. Galatians 6:9 say don’t become wary of doing good for you will reap a harvest of Eternal life. That means you will be rewarded if you do good. I live by the spirit by doing good, but I really struggle with kindness because to me if someone does something to me it’s so tempting to do it back to them.
