Engineered By Christ
A spoon full of sugar may help the medicine go down, but Ella-girl
(Grand #1) will tell youit
makes her wild!
Consider this profound truth:
God is the source of Godly fruits. "The fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such
thins there is no law." (Galatians 5:22-23. Try as we will, we cannot manufacture patience – it
eventually wears thin and out; we cannot produce peace – eventually a warring spirit
emerges
;
we cannot control self – eventually all control is lost.
The benefits and risks of GMOs (genetically
modified organisms) is debated. While things occurring outside of nature
are suspect, there is nothing suspicious about what isspiritually modified by Almighty God. Left
to ourselves,
we
cannot
bear Godly fruit; we bear only fruit produced
from the natural-sinful man: hate, hostility and such as fill
daily news feeds.
Much like
too much sugar
for
Ella
,
life apart from God
carries huge risks
- actually, it's deadly
. "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the
desires of the flesh." (Galatians 3:16). When we are
spiritually engineered by Christ, the fruits
of His Spirit emerge and we walk accordingly with The Father and with others. It's a good question to ask ourselves:of the fruit in my life, who's the engineer?
