835. How to Become a Mature Christian (#13) - As we Mature as Christians, the Fruit of the Spirit will manifest more and more in our lives. - July 11, 2025

Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 11. I will then key in on verse 19 - As righteousness leads to life, So he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death. Friends, let's key in on the first part of this verse. We are to walk in the righteousness (the Bible tells us we are the Righteousness of Christ) to the best of our ability. Before beginning today's lesson I will review the three points I brought up on our last episode of this series (#825 - which aired on June 20th - if you did not get a chance to tune in to that episode, I invite you to do so). Today we will be looking at the 5th (of 7) markers that have to do with maturing as Christians in our world today. The marker today has to do with fruit of the Spirit manifestation. By the end of today's lesson there are three things I ask that you consider:1. As we mature as Christians, the fruit of the Spirit will manifest more and more in our lives (Galatians 5:22-23)2. Apart from Christ, a believer cannot accomplish anything of permanent spiritual value.3. Manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit will become more natural and will replace earlier behaviors.Scriptures referenced on today's podcast:Proverb 11:19; Galatians 5:22-26; John 15:1-5Call to Action - Are you being led by the Spirit of God?
