"Looking Alive Vs. Being Alive"

In Galatians 5, Paul reminds us that the fruit of the Spirit is not something we manufacture. Fruit is grown from a life connected to Christ. Using the contrast between real fruit and fake fruit, this message explores the difference between spiritual decoration and spiritual life. The Spirit doesn’t produce appearances; He produces transformation from the inside out. The Christian life isn’t about trying harder; it’s about staying connected and keeping in step with the Spirit.
