Ephesians 4:30 What does it mean?

All I know, I will write to you Dear,

First lets look at Galatians ch. 5 which is similar in instruction. We are ALL parts of one body and the head is Christ Jesus.
None of us are to walk in pride and arrogance putting others beneath ourselves.
Jesus said that by our loving one another ,others would KNOW we were his disciples.

This is the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT chapter.
Having been born of God through Jesus, we are transformed and renewed. We are NOT left here alone to struggle and stumble for Jesus sent back the comforter aka the Holy Ghost to help us.

V.22 begins identifying his work in helping God's ppl stay in sync with one another, the word, and all the fullness of God.

Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, against such there is NO law. The 9 attributes of the Spirit are not constrained but are free to be of use to God's ppl by being led of him.

If we are crucifying the flesh daily, then we are allowing the FRUIT to be productive in our walk with God. There is no stipulation on how much or how long we must let him bear his FRUIT through us. If we quench or restrict him from being in our life we grieve and hurt him for he is God's Spirit.

The world looks at the light that we shine in darkness as opposed to the words we speak. By being led and bearing the FRUIT of the Spirit, we will shine brightly for him for all will see we ARE the children of God !
