How does the world see us?

On Sunday the question was posed “How does the world see us?” Peculiar, odd, weird or intolerant were the answers given. It raises the question in my mind of wow should the world see us? Well the fruit of the spirit is in Galatians 5:22-23 “22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” When people see Christians this is what they should see. People so full of these things that it can’t be explained other than by bringing God into the conversation. This should describe each follower of Jesus Christ. What keeps you from having this fruit evident in your life? How can you work to have this fruit show up? It comes from walking close to Jesus not from just avoiding a list of do’s and don’ts. The disciples were marked by the leaders of Israel not because of their intelligence or speech but because they had been with Jesus. Spend time with Jesus and he will develop the fruit in your life.
