We are the branches, he is the vine

You dont get to pick and choose from the fruit of the Spirit they are all the characteristics of Christ. We need to abide by all of them. If we abide in him then our desire if for him and our will be conformed to His will. We don't get a list of stuff to do and not do it is a Relationship with the Father. Challenge: We need to abide in Him. Jesus often withdrew himself to lower places, and if he needed to do that then we need to do that today.
