As Believers we should be aware that God's spirit, through the virtues of Jesus Christ, now permanently resides in our hearts. In St. John's Gospel, Jesus said to His disciples right before He was crucified...."𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒔𝒌 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑯𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝑪𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒓, 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖".
Now, if we have God's spirit in us, what are the proofs and expressions of the Spirit? What traits does it produce?
Apostle Paul reveals to us, in His Epistle to the church in Galatia, the answer....
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, (which brings forth) joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. [Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV)].
Anything done that doesn't have or isn't driven by God's love cannot be inspired by His Spirit. The evidence of God to the world is His love manifested in and through us, via His Spirit.
It is very impossible to habour hate or grudges in your heart and be filled with the Spirit. It's impossible to curse someone and be filled with the Spirit. The fact is that God's spirit can never inspire you to do something bad to another person. It specifically expresses Love.
In 1Corithians 13, we see the manner in which God's love is depicted.
.
If you are consistently being filled with the Spirit, you will begin to adopt and express it's traits with ease. God's spirit in you will make you to love more and will eradicate any hate you feel.
