πŸ’₯ Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ. (Phil. 1:27)

conversation:  manner of life

As we live by the Holy Spirit of God, our manner of life reflects the fruits of the Spirit of God.

Galatians 5:22-23

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance:

We learn to keep our own flesh crucified with Christ, not permitting our flesh to exalt itself as it wants to do.

Rather we care about other people and their well being.  Inside us is always that desire for them to know God and the really good way of life presented by the Word of God.

Instead of striking out at the weak, as our flesh would have us do, we learn to pray for the weak, recognizing they are as they are because they do not know God and HIS Word.

And we pray also for ourselves when we feel we are becoming weak:

Psalm 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
