Gentleness

The next fruit of the spirit is Gentleness.

Here are some scriptures on gentleness.

2Sam.22:36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gen-tleness hath made me great.

Psm.18:35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand has lifted me up, and thy gentleness hath me great.

2Cor.10:1 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence is base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:

We know that Jesus was gentle as Paul tells us so in

2 Cor10:1. When dealing with God s people as men of God or as saints. We must be gentle and treat them, like they are a gift from God because they are including our mates.

Paul said he that has a wife has a good thing .We must learn to be gentle and consider ourselves and be gentle or meek. It s how we deal with a matter, whether we deal with it and represent a doer of the word not just a forget full hearer of the word.

Remember when the sea was roaring and Jesus was a sleep. The Apostles were worried and they turned to Jesus and he calmed the sea. They said what man-ner of man can control the sea. Be gentle to one another. This is a big part of love, the next fruit of the spirit is Goodness.

Jesus is commanding us to obey his commandments. We must be obedient and become righteous to have goodness in our heart,
because man is deceitfully wicked and even evil in his heart and mind.

Without goodness we are just earthly men and we can be good to one another in the flesh and that s a good thing to do. The goodness talked about in

Gal.5:22 is being good to all men that you might win some. We must set an ex-ample and let our light shine and it is by God s goodness we are saved through faith, grace and hope.

Psm 21 :3 For thou prevents him with the blessings of goodness: thou sets a crown of pure gold on his head.

Psm 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever

Psm. 107: 8,9,15,21,31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
