Fruit of the Spirit

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance
Gal 5:22-23

The underlying Greek word here is eirene defined as peace, quietness or rest.

Sources of Peace

Our Faith:

  • Romans 5:1 …since we have been justified in faith, we have peace with God
  • Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be terrified;  do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Our trust:

  • Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him,…
  • 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.
  • Romans 8:31 If God is for us, who can be against us.

We are commanded to have Peace

2 Corinthians 13:11 “… Live in Peace….”

Colossians 3:15 “Let the Peace of Christ rule in your hearts…”

Hebrews 12:14 “Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy…”

Our challenge then is to work toward having a peaceful life in a world distracting us from its source, faith and trust in God.
