Ephesians 5:9-10 For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth; Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
The Apostle Paul says the “fruit of the Spirit” is seen in three ways.
GOODNESS – being God-like toward others as we treat them like God treats us.
RIGHTEOUSNESS – living the righteousness of Christ given to all believers -- a godliness that makes a life different because it belongs to the Lord.
TRUTH -- Personal integrity, honesty, reliability, trustworthiness.
Goodness, righteousness, and truth are proof of the presence of the righteousness of the Lord in us.
When we truly know Jesus, we will be like Him.
