Abundant Life | The Fruit Of The Spirit | Gentleness

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22–23 (NASB)
Gentleness = considerate, humble, meek, well-mannered, civil
Gentleness = strength used for good
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
We live in a world of violence
“Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
The gentleness of Jesus brings rest to your soul
“For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV)
Your soul at rest in Jesus activates gentleness in you
“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” Matthew 5:5 (NIV)
