Indicators of a follower of Jesus

For anyone who claims to be a follower of Jesus we have been given indicators to prove if we are actually followers or not. Once we give our lives to Jesus and the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in each believer we then are to develop these traits which we can do immediately by the power of God....Here they are:



Galatians 5:22-24



22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.



Does this describe you? Now you will have days where you fail, we all do, but the overall traits of your life should reflect these traits which are also the traits of our Lord, Jesus. If these traits are not a steady part of your life one must take a close look at their life to see if they truly have surrendered their life to Jesus. These traits are to be evident in God's people, the church.



Think about these today...love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, an self-control. Is this you? Is this your church? If not some serious soul searching needs to take place! If it is praise be to God!!!! Keep spreading the fruit brothers and sisters, so folks can see Jesus!
