Imagine becoming a better person as a slow, sure, and heartfelt change that needs understanding. Galatians 5:16-25 talks about the tug of war between wrong actions and the Holy Spirit, encouraging us to live guided by the Spirit. This leads to good qualities such as love, joy, and self-control. Developing these qualities is compared to a fruit tree growing slowly. It takes time and wise judgment to make sure these qualities are real and lasting.
