The Character of Christ: The Fruit of the Spirit in the Life of Our Saviour

Most experienced Christians are familiar with the Fruit of the Spirit listed in the apostle Paul's Letter to the Galatians. Love, peace, patience, and so on are often considered both gracious marks of true Christian character and ideals to aim for. But what do they look like when lived to the fullest? This book answers that question by studying the fullness of the Fruit of the Spirit in the life of Christ. In a warm and engaging style. Jonathan Cruse examines these godly attributes in the Lord's example, comparing them with our own faltering efforts at holiness, and shows that we can only bear true fruit for God by our union to the life-giving Vine. The work is his, not ours - and this is good news for all those who yearn for greater sanctification.
