What does a transformed life look like? According to the Apostle Paul, the Spirit-filled life is evidenced by love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). He refers to these qualities as the fruit of the Spirit.

Too often, the fruit of the Spirit gets reduced to a to-do list of self-effort. We try to act more loving and kind, even though we feel like giving people a piece of our minds. We try to be at peace, but we’re inwardly stressed and anxious. We feign an outward display of patience while becoming more indignant and frustrated just beneath the surface. Our best efforts leave us with little more than behavior modification. The reality is that genuine and enduring transformation requires the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit. We can change our behaviors, but only God can change our hearts.

Before you implode under the weight of failed attempts at self-transformation, lean in and learn about the work of the Holy Spirit. Discover the power and freedom of being continually filled with the Holy Spirit! As you walk daily with the Spirit, you will find that He is radically transforming you day by day! The Holy Spirit is your key to a life transformed!

When Jesus stepped out of heaven and into humanity, He began a journey that would transform Earth and eternity. Each step was an act of obedience and an expression of love. 

Jesus perfectly walked the journey of humanity. He walked into the Temple to be “about His Father’s business.” He walked into the Jordan River to be baptized. He walked for over three years with His disciples. Sometimes He walked among crowds, but sometimes He walked alone. He even walked on water.

Jesus walked with purpose and compassion. He walked in obedience and with authority. But the most demanding part of His journey was when He walked under the burden of His cross, carrying the weight of the world to the place where He would be crucified.

But, praise God, His journey did not stop at His death! Jesus walked out of the tomb in resurrection power! He walked in victory over death, hell, and the grave! He walked among humanity in His resurrected body, showing Himself to be alive and proving He was the Son of God. Then, He stepped back into heaven, where He is seated at the right hand of God interceding day and night for you and me. One day soon, Jesus will come again to rule and reign on earth as the righteous King!

The Jesus journey is what gives hope and purpose to the journey of humanity.
