Good Evidence Today's Three-minute Bible Study Print, Study and Apply Title: Good Evidence ----------------------- Date: 07/08/1999 Keywords: "good” “renewed" “transformed" Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation. eXXit advertises itself as a Web site designed to help you "stand strong in the face of sexual temptation." In Galatians 5:22-23, the apostle Paul lists nine "fruit of the Spirit," fruit that the Holy Spirit produces in the life of the believer. Each of these fruits — if produced — will greatly aid a believer who seeks to "stand strong." At eXXit, we believe that: The fruit of the Spirit is produced in the life of a healthy Christian, just as apples appear on a healthy apple tree. If there is any love or joy or peace in a Christian, it is ultimately the work of God. Christians can cooperate with the Spirit's desire to produce His fruit in their lives by yieldedness, faith, obedience and involvement in ministry. We hope you enjoy and benefit from these meditations on Galatians 5! Send us any feedback. We'd love to know what you think. Passage: Romans 12:2* And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Questions 1. According to Paul, what happens when God graciously renews your mind?   2. Do you consider yourself evidence of God's goodness?   Practical help Can you imagine a God who expects your very life to be a proof of what his goodness is? Sounds like an absurd responsibility especially if you find yourself battling a habit like pornography, which often leaves you feeling anything but good. Every day (every moment, really) you have an opportunity to accept a gift from God. This gift is a new way to decide on your choices. God offers you this new decision making ability by offering you a renewed mind -- one based on his goodness, not your own. If you're ready to be proof of how good God is, then I urge you to take hold of this gift.
