People who live like this will not receive God’s kingdom.But the fruit the Holy Spirit produces is love, joy and peace. It is being patient, kind and good. It is being faithfuland gentle and having control of oneself. There is no law against things of that kind.Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed their sinful desires to his cross. They don’t want these things anymore.Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
