Fruit of the Spirit Series – Part 6 of 9, Goodness (Gal 5:22-23) Not only does the goodness of God draw people direct to Him, but this fruit of goodness operating in a believer can also draw people direct to God through the actual believer. Spirit-filled saints who are walking with many of these fruits operating through them are like a magnet. Many people who have been saved through an individual believer say that what drew them in was the love and goodness they saw shining through that believer. Jesus says that we are to carry His light and let that light shine before men and not attempt to hide it. Part of His light is these 9 fruits of the Holy Spirit shining through an anointed believer. Nonbelievers are really drawn to someone who has some degree of these nine fruits manifesting through their personalities. As a result of seeing this God-like goodness deeply ingrained into their personalities, there is an immediate drawing towards them. You feel totally safe being around them because you know you can totally trust them, and you know they would never deliberately hurt you. Our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Good Shepherd, laid down his life for the ‘sheep’ (Read & ). This particular quality is a very powerful fruit to have operating in your personality because of the drawing power it has in it. And the beautiful part about this fruit is that this quality is so pure in its goodness…it does not have any manipulative qualities within it. In other words, a truly good person could not even begin to try to use you or manipulate you for their own personal gain because they are too good and righteous to even begin to think along those lines. This is why these kinds of people are so trustworthy and why so many people are drawn to them…because you feel so safe by just being around them. |
