God’s Extreme Makeover

Part 1: Being Attractive Without Having To Look Good

The Picture

But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Here there is no conflict with the law.  Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT)

   Love                         Joy                           Peace      

   Patience                  Kindness                Goodness

   Faithfulness           Gentleness             Self-control        

The Problem

¹⁷ The old sinful nature loves to do evil, which is just opposite from what the Holy Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are opposite from what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, and your choices are never free from this conflict.  Galatians 5:17 (NLT)

The Plan

¹⁶ So I advise you to live according to your new life in the Holy Spirit. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves….²⁵ If we are living now by the Holy Spirit, let us follow the Holy Spirit's leading in every part of our lives. Galatians 5:16, 25 (NLT)

Jesus said, “Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful apart from me.  "Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:4-5 (NLT)
