Yesterday we spoke about this. I had coffee with an amazing friend and as we discussed people and their actions, the question came up why do Christians do evil things. The Holy Spirit reminded me of this scripture and how Jesus said there will be false prophets.
He actually said they come in sheep’s clothing but inside they are wolves. If you do not have an intimate relationship with Holy Spirt the Word of God will be just another book on your shelf. The Holy Spirit wrote the Bible and He brings the Bible to life as your relationship with Him increases. Anyone can call themselves a Christian but a follower of Jesus Christ is a complete surrender to the Holy Spirit and the death of your worldly self.
That is where the fruits of the Spirit comes in as Paul describes it so well in Galatians 5 “The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.”
Have an awesome day my friend.
