One Sunday in June, Apostle Emma Dickens, asked me what the Fruit of The Spirit was. I answered Goodness, and then she asked me what was the meaning of Goodness? I could barely answer, because I didn’t know. Now that I have done my research, not only can I tell you what it means, but I will also apply it to my situations in life. The Fruit of The Spirit is often used to describe characteristics of a\u00a0 Christian. In Galatians, The Fruit of The Spirit is mentioned when Paul makes a list of them to contrast a Christian from a sinner. Goodness is the quality of being good; kindness, generosity. In the Bible, goodness refers to the gracious generosity of Yahweh in providing our needs. Psalms 23:6 say ” Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
