Jesus is called the Prince of peace; but could one tell that of the One described as a Man of sorrows, acquainted with grief, from Whom men hid their faces (Isaiah 53:1-5)? Seldom is there mention of Jesus rejoicing, but many times angry, frustrated, weeping. Did He not have joy? Reader, the life of the saint is hid in Christ - the fruit of the Spirit hidden to the carnal eye; but the harlot displays the carnal, claiming it to be the true; she deceives the simple and ignorant. But tell us, you who deem yourselves to have the fruit of the Spirit and to be able to see it in others: Do you keep the Commandments in a way the rich young ruler could not? Is there Truth in you? You quote Galatians 5:22-23, but what about Ephesians 5:9-10? “For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth: proving what is acceptable,” not to man, but “unto the Lord.” Read carefully and repeatedly Ephesians 5:1-18, and know that the “wine” is that which the harlot gives. Who has the fruit of the Spirit? One will know them only by the Spirit, and not by appearance.
