...be filled with the Spirit... (Eph 5:18b)

As Christians, we know we are to be Christlike, and yet we might wonder, "I am still me; how does this work?" Being Spirit-filled is to be the normal mode of operation for Christian living, yet it is not well understood, and is sometimes even depicted as strange behavior.

The Christian spiritual life is a life of faith. The Christian who exercises faith in the promises of God under grace will be energized to produce the fruit of the Spirit. He will please God, see change, and experience peace, joy, patience, self-control, and much more!

Detailing the mindset and characteristics of the "spiritual man," Bearing Fruit explains how to live a Spirit-filled life: enjoying the blessings of grace, benefiting the body of Christ, and bringing glory to God.

...that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. (Eph 3:19b)
