the works of the flesh verses the fruit of the spirit

The works of the Flesh verses the Fruit of the Spirit.  

The flesh has a sin nature. But through the same Grace that saved you when we accepted Jesus, you became a NEW creation/a NEW man in your Spirit, because the Spirit of God came to live in you so that His fruit (His own nature and character) can manifest and flow through you daily. The Bible says we must renew our mind through the Spirit for the transformation to take place. STOP just trying and acting like a good person, gritting your teeth and clenching your fist, and biting your lip trying to show people love, goodness, kindness and gentleness, and trying to have faith, be at peace and self-control in the flesh (your own personality). You CAN NOT duplicate, copy or emulate the fruit of the Spirit and when you try, you are insulting the Spirit and denying His deity.  

Galatians 5:19- 25   shows the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. We are called and expected to live by the Spirit. But this transformation is a Spiritual one, not a physical or fleshly one.

Galatians 5:19-25: “19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering (patience), kindness, goodness, faithfulness (faith), gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
