A child comes into this world very self-centered thinking the whole world revolves around it. As a child grows it must be taught that the world does not revolve around it. The attitude of a child is the typical behavior of the unsaved. At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.
Unregenerate persons display the traits mentioned in the following verses.
I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 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.
