There is something about the work of the Holy Spirit in a follower of Christ when that person really has been born again. There is a change that occurs in their life that just radiates the reality of Christ living in them. We live in such an angry, thankless world, self-seeking and arrogant. Should it not be even easier to ‘spot’ the Christian.

The Bible calls these characteristics the fruit of the Spirit. If you know Christ, have been born again and received the grace of God, may your life just stand out in the crowd.
