Study Notes

The Power of God in Our Lives

Our characters, habits, and way of life change when we become children of God.
This change is like a birth and a growth process, similar to a good seed planted by a farmer.
Our sense of need drives us to the Saviour and to the Word of God.

The Fruits of the Spirit

The fruits of the Spirit in our lives are: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control (Galatians 5:22, 23).
These fruits are evident in our lives when we follow Christ and have His Spirit in us.

The Character of Christ

Christ's infinite purity and beauty are reflected in us when we turn to Him.
The more we see of His beautiful character, the more we shall become like Him.
We think often about Him, and our kindest thoughts are of Him.

The Growth Process

We will grow up to be men and women in Christ Jesus, like the good seed planted in a field.
God brings us many lessons from natural life to help us understand spiritual truths.
Only God can give spiritual life to people, and we must be "born again" (John 3:3).

The Role of Jesus

Jesus is at the right hand of God, asking His Father to forgive us.
He is our advocate, pleading with the Father on our behalf (1 John 2:1).
We must trust the power of our Redeemer and praise Him who is the light of our lives.
