Holy Spirit
Part 3What the Holy Spirit Produces in our Lives
2Without the filling of the Holy Spirit, the
Christian life will be reduced to legalism and
grinding self-effort which will ultimately be
self-defeating. William Lane Craig
3You will receive power when the Holy Spirit
comes upon you.
Acts 18 (NLT)
4Being disciples of Christ isnt just a matter of
what we do its a matter of who we are. And the
key to that is the fullness of the Holy Spirit in
each of our lives William Lane Craig
5When you follow the desires of your sinful
nature, the results are very clear sexual
immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures,
idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling,
jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition,
dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild
parties, and other sins like these.
Galatians 519-21 (NLT)
6So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives.
Then you wont be doing what your sinful nature
craves But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of
fruit in our lives love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and
self-control. There is no law against these
things!
Galatians 516,22-23 (NLT)

9But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit
in our lives
Galatians 522 (NLT)
10If a man is filled with anger, than anger
controls his life. If a man is filled with greed,
then greed dominates his life. If a man is filled
with lust, then lust governs his life. If a man
is filled with love, then love influences all he
does. And if a man is filled with the Holy
Spirit, he is controlled by the Spirit - it is,
if you will, control by consent. Emile
Wolfaardt

12But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit
in our lives love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and
self-control. There is no law against these
things!
Galatians 522-23 (NLT)
13The Development of the Fruit of the Spirit is
The Result,not the cause,of Being a Christian
C
14It is only by Gods grace that you have been
saved! God saved you by his grace when you
believed. And you cant take credit for this it
is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for
the good things we have done, so none of us can
boast about it.
Ephesians 25,8-9 (NLT)
15We believe that we are all saved the same way,
by the undeserved grace of the Lord Jesus.
Acts 1511 (NLT)
16The Development of the Fruit of the Spirit is
Expected of Every Christ-follower
D
17By their fruit you will recognize them. Do
people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from
thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good
fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. Thus, by
their fruit you will recognize them.
Matthew 716-17,20 (NIV)
18The Development of the Fruit of the Spirit is
All or Nothing
E
19But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control.
Galatians 522-23 (NIV)
20The fruit of the Spirit is love, and it is
manifested in joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and
self-control joy is loves strength, peace is
loves security, patience is
21loves endurance, kindness is loves conduct,
goodness is loves character, faithfulness is
loves confidence, gentleness is loves humility,
self-control is loves victory. Bill Bright
22The Development of the Fruit of the Spirit is
Progressive
F
23And I am certain that God, who began the good
work within you, will continue his work until it
is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus
returns.
Philippians 16 (NLT)
24What Prevents the Fruit of the Spirit from
Developing in us?
25The seed that fell among the thorns represents
others who hear Gods word, but all too quickly
the message is crowded out by the worries of this
life, the lure of wealth, and the desire for
other things, so no fruit is produced.
Mark 418-19 (NLT)
26What Prevents the Fruit of the Spirit from
Developing in us?
- We are not 100 devoted
- We are relying on self-effort
27Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a
branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from
the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you
remain in me. Yes, I am the vine you are the
branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them,
will produce much fruit. For apart from me you
can do nothing.
John 154-5 (NLT)
