Galatians 6
Nobody likes self-control. The guy in the 1600's who put the verse numbers in your Bible? Put self-control in a whole separate verse from the other fruit of the Spirit! But of all the attributes listed, this is the one contributes most directly to Gospel freedom. How can that be?

Romans 12:1-2, 9-21
Our loving devotion is pleasing to God, and the more devoted we are, the more His loving will is pleasing to us. Goodness is, well, good.

Ephesians 4:22-32
Patience loves by holding back--even letting go of--the fear and anger of impatience when a situation doesn't go according to plan...or a person 'doesn't go according to plan.' We talked about times that we must love patiently from a distance. But kindness moves outward. Kindness reaches out to bless another person, whether they deserve it or not.

Philippians 4:1-9
-----------------
If the salvation Jesus sacrificed Himself for is shalom-peace, reconciled well-being, then true peace is the lived-out expression of the essence/glory/love of God
So, if we are true peacemakers, true cultivators of wholeness around us, true bringers of wellbeing, then we prove that we have the love of God—we take after our Father. We are clearly His children.
Peacemaking is our witness.

Hebrews 12:1-13, 18-24
Maybe the reason joy is so hard to come by is that in this life, it comes through struggle...and we would rather avoid struggle. Except by doing so, we end up also avoiding joy

Galatians 3:23-4:31
"The greatest proof that the Good News of Jesus Christ is good, is not a great sermon, or even a great personal testimony, though we've seen that those are powerful and Apostle used his earlier in this letter. The greatest visible proof that the Good News of Jesus Christ is good, is a reconciled community from every tongue, tribe, language, nation, gender, birth order, whatever--worshiping and serving God together."
