The curse of thorns is a tangible reminder and an illustration of sin's consequences in our lives. God does not leave us in the thorns, but rather He desires our lives to bear good fruit that demonstrates our faith. Jesus willingly took on the crown of thorns, so that we could bear fruit. The thorns we struggle with are not burdens to bear but reminders of Christ's love.

As we wrap our series on the Fruit of the Spirit, we close with self-control. Self-control is not self-effort. Self-control is self-submission to the Holy Spirit. Submitting to the Spirit brings peace, hope and victory. That is how we bear the Fruit of the Spirit.

Gentleness is the mark of a life: strengthened by God's training, governed by discipline, and in submission to His authority. Jesus, the King of Kings, described Himself as gentle and humble in heart. If the all-powerful Son of God chose to display His strength through gentleness, how much more should we?

As Christians, we are called to not only believe but to bear fruit that brings glory to God. In order to bear kingdom fruit, we must remain rooted in Christ. This isn't a one-time decision, but a lifetime commitment.

Faithfulness is a defining attribute of God, and as believers, we are called to reflect this fruit in our lives. True faithfulness isn’t just about personal willpower or determination; it’s about abiding in Christ and being empowered by the Holy Spirit. Faithfulness doesn’t mean the absence of doubt—it’s trusting God even when doubts arise.
