You were appointed, chosen, to be a fruit bearer.
Gal 5:16-26
One question to ask yourself: am I more in love with Jesus today than a year ago?
Do I bear more fruit for the Lord today, than a year ago?
Think about this: everything has a cycle. Season, dishwashers, marriages, addiction, and even producing fruit for the Lord.
Heb 10:14 you are immediately made sanctified in Christ.
:::Cycle of fruitfulness:::
1) recognize the Spirit and walk in the Spirit, and so you will drive out sin. Kind of like a room that is dark because the light is not on; to "remove" the dark, you turn on the light (See Gal 5:16-26, Rom 6:10-11; see yourself dead to sin)
2) application: sow into the Spirit
(See Gal 6:7-9, Rom 6: Paul says our old sin nature is dead when we are with Christ. What Christ killed, what are we doing resurrecting it?)
So why do we still sin? Because though your Spirit is renewed, your mind and your flesh still speak your old language. In a way, your habits have to be conformed to your NEW life, and not to the old. I've heard that it takes 21 days to change a habit.
Rom 12:2
