How to react when you are angered?

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self–control. Against such there is no law.

The question you and I need to ask ourselves is what kind of fruit are we bearing? Is it fruit that is acceptable before God, or are we bearing diseased fruit that looks great from the outside and all manner of people are praising you yet on the inside it is full of worms and disease?

Nothing about us is good and as long as we do not die to self, then the Spirit of God cannot birth the fruit that God needs to see in us. Knowing what we know, it would be sad for you and I to be among the number that almost made it to heaven. This calls for some self evaluation, look within you and ask what kind of fruit is growing in you?

How do you react when you are angered? What comes to the surface when you are treated unjustly? It is in such heated moments that the fruit in you is exposed for all to see. Lets not fool ourselves, we are living in the last days and the time to play church has run out.

Like the thief on the cross who said “remember me when you get into your kingdom” lets be among those who almost made it to heaven.
