We have received the Spirit of God
"We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit that is from God, so that we may understand the things freely given us by God." (1 Corinthians 2: 12)
The spirit of the world is marked by:
" Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness,
idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions, occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. " (Galatians 5: 19 - 21)
But these are the signs of the Spirit of God:
"In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control." (Galatians 5: 22 - 23)
Lord Jesus thank you for the precious gifts of your Holy Spirit.
