Fruit of the Spirit (Long-suffering)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith. Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law – Galatians 5:22-23

Long-suffering is something that has to be created within us through the Holy Spirit, it’s nothing we can produce ourselves.

A person who is rich in the fruit of the Spirit fulfills the Law far better than a person who observes the rituals. In order for the Gifts of the Spirit to operate effectively, the Fruit of the Spirit must be in operation. Read More
