Amen! The Bible is truth. All may understand for themselves instead of depending upon weak and fallible humans that twist and pervert the teachings of our Lord. Jesus taught in a manner that all may understand. We need Him so very much. If we have not His Spirit, we are none of His. If we have Him, we can do all things that He asks of us. If we are fully surrendered to Jesus, then we have His Spirit and the fruits all come with Him. That is why they are called the "fruits of the Spirit". He gives the new Christian each one of these fruits, not one is missing. Many may appear to have some of the fruits, but if any are missing, it is because Christ is no in the heart and the fruits that appear to be of the Spirit are not. They are inculcated with self.
Today, we may possess the "wedding garment" of His righteousness. But, first self must die. It must be laid on the cross of Calvary. All sins must be confessed and forsaken, then Jesus will cloth us with His character. What a promise!!!
