But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. True faith in God and Jesus demands ethical behavior that glorifies God.
Ethical behavior follows faith and salvation.
Salvation begins and ends with faith. One cannot approach God or Jesus without faith. This kind of faith results in good deeds. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. In crucifying the acts of the sinful nature, you need to fix your eyes on Jesus.
