Galatians 5:22-23

But the fruit of the Spirit (the results of His presence within us) is love (unselfish concern for others), joy (inner) peace, patience (not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting), kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Without Jesus and the Holy Spirit’s guidance, none of the above would be possible. When our flesh fits, it takes us down a rabbit trail, with us flopping all over the place without the Holy Spirit keeping us stable. The stronger we develop ourselves in this love guided by the Holy Spirit, the less likely sin will be able to enter our lives and influence our actions and reactions.
