“But the Fruit of the Spirit is… Faith… Meekness…”
Galatians 5:22-23Slide2
Concerning faith
and meekness…
Can we tell if we have the proper type of faith?
Can we tell if others have faith or not?
Can we determine if
someone
else
has
a true sense of meekness about them?Slide3
Faith…
Hebrews 11:1 Now
faith is
the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Romans 10:17 So then
faith
comes
by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Slide4
Faith…
James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--and tremble!
20
But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?
Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;
13
for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for
His
good pleasure.
Numbers 14:41-45Slide5
Faith…
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith
it is
impossible to please
Him,
for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and
that
He is a
rewarder
of those who diligently seek Him.
Luke 17:5 And the apostles said to the Lord, "
Increase our faith
.”
James 2:24 You see then that a man is
justified by works
, and
not by faith only
. Slide6
Faith…
James 2:17 Thus also
faith
by
itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
2Timothy 2:16 But shun profane
and
idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness.
17
And
their message will spread like cancer
.
Hymenaeus
and
Philetus
are of this sort,
18
who have
strayed
concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and
they overthrow the faith of some.
Matthew 15:10-14…Slide7
Faith…
1John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Meekness…
Matthew 11:29
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
1Peter
2:22
"Who committed no sin,
Nor was deceit found in His mouth";
23
who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed
Himself
to Him who judges righteously;
24
who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness--by whose stripes you were healed. Slide10
Meekness…
Numbers 12:3 (Now the man Moses
was
very humble, more than all men who
were
on the face of the earth
.)
Ephesians 4:1 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,

with all lowliness
and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,

to keep the unity of the Spirit
in the bond of peace. Slide11
Meekness…
1Peter
3:15 But
sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always
be
ready to
give
a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you,
with meekness
and
fear
2Timothy 2:24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,
25
in humility correcting those who are in opposition
, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth,
Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one
in the spirit of meekness
; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
(
KJV)Slide12
Meekness…
1Peter 3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward
adorning
of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
4
But
let it be
the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible,
even the ornament
of a
meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price
.
(
KJV
)
Titus
3:1 Put
them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers,
but
gentle,
shewing
all
meekness unto all men
.
(
KJV
)
Psalm 149:4 For the
Lord
takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation.
(
NKJV
)Slide13
In Conclusion…
Can we
tell if
we or others
have
faith
or not?
We can tell if others have
faith (to a certain extent) by
whether or not they are obedient to the truths revealed in God’s Word!
We
can observe that in
trait (or
lack
thereof)
in others by how they conduct themselvesSlide14
In Conclusion…
With regard to
meekness
, we can see clearly whether one is meek or just cowardly by their actions.
If one is truly seeking to be Christ like with regard to
meekness then
they will humbly
give a ready defense for the faith they possess,
they
will correct those who are in opposition, and seek to restore their fallen brethren. Slide15
