But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
There is no law against being nice. There is no law against caring for others. But, there are both God given laws and man-made laws about doing otherwise.
Some not so joyful or peaceful consequences often follow breaking these laws.
It is just so much easier to be nice and do what is right; do what is good for you and for others and we will all experience a whole lot less turmoil and drama in our lives for it.
May God help us all not to spitefully use or abuse others in any way. And, may His love, joy, and peace be with us always!
God's Peace - Pr. J.
