Choices in Life!

"This course is rich and full of the gospel and comes complete with videos of Bill teaching the course material in his local church. I highly recommend this course if you are looking for a gospel-saturated study of the fruit of the Spirit!"

Mike Cleveland, Founder of Setting Captives Free

Dan writes, "As with all Christian growth, it is a journey. I gave my life to Christ over 41 years ago, and I learned some new things in this study, gained new perspectives, and was reminded of critical truths that I learned long ago. There is definitely something in this course for everyone, and everyone will benefit from this in-depth examination of their walk with Christ."

Gail writes, "In the Fruit of the Spirit course, I appreciated the explanation of what each fruit word meant, the Old Testament illustrations, how Jesus illustrated each one in His life, death and resurrection, and how He calls me to display them in my life to bring glory to Him.

When I come to the cross daily and wash in His life-giving blood, I know I am saved. When I walk with the Spirit, the fruit has a chance to grow in me by His power. I can fight against my flesh so that I will not sin. I have been given all the tools I need to be walking according to God's will for my life and not my own.

I have learned in such great detail about the fruits of the Spirit and how they should look in my daily living. This course has helped me stay true to what God wants for my life. It has encouraged me greatly to keep washing at the cross, walking by the Spirit, and fighting my flesh.

I encourage others to take this course. I have been a Christian most of my life and wanted more insight into the Fruit of the Spirit. This course gave me that understanding."

Introduction and Question 1

There is a family of Greek words that are used with our word in this lesson. In our text in Galatians 5:23, it is translated as:

Gentleness: NKJV; NLT; NIV; ESV; CSB; NASB; NET; RSV; HVN; AMP

πρᾷος ( G4235) prah'-os used in Matthew 11:29

NASB – meekness (11x) Morphological GNT

πραΰς (G4239) prah-ooce’ used in Matthew 5:5

the mildness of temperament, the gentleness of spirit, by implication: humility

The word has the idea of being teachable, not having a superior attitude, not demanding one’s rights.

Gentleness or meekness is humble submissiveness to the teachings of Divine revelation – this stands in contrast with that self-reliant, headstrong, impulsive person who is apt to hurry the adoption of novel ideas. This impulsive person has not taken the trouble seriously to weigh ideas in light of God’s word. Gentleness or meekness, however, stands in contrast to self-reliant arrogance in general.

– meekness (“gentle strength”), which exercises power with reserve and gentleness.

This gentleness or meekness is both an inward quality of character and shows itself outwardly in our interactions with others. Gentleness or meekness is a work of the Holy Spirit and not of human will.
