I n t r o d u c t i o n 5 Course Introduction A famous British scientist who was a Christian had a close friend who expressed his doubts about Christianity and gave his own opinions regarding human nature. He believed that all men had the power within themselves for self-improvement to the point that they could eventually become perfect. The scientist objected strongly, and stated that countless men through the centuries have tried to improve themselves but have failed. To further illustrate his point, the scientist decided to allow one section of his beautiful flower garden to remain untended. The rest of the garden was carefully cultivated on a daily basis. Soon the untended flowers were choked out by weeds and dried out because of lack of water and attention. When his friend saw this part of the garden, he asked the scientist, “Why have you neglected this portion of your garden?” “I haven’t neglected it at all,” the scientist answered. “I’ve just put into practice your principle of the self-improvement of living things.” As the object lesson of the scientist illustrates, a beautiful character—like a beautiful flower garden—does not happen by accident. Christian character is developed as the Holy Spirit produces His fruit in the believer. The fruit of the Spirit, which is described in Galatians 5:22–23, is the result of the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The use of the singular form fruit in Galatians 5:22 suggests the unity and harmony of the character of the Lord Jesus Christ reproduced in the nine qualities of that fruit. In his spiritual regeneration the Christian identifies himself with Christ. As He died for our sins and arose glorious and triumphant, we die with Him and bury at the cross those evil things of the old nature. Our new life, vibrant and holy, reveals the character and nature of our Savior. In Galatians 5 we have a crystal-clear profile of the old, evil nature (the “works of the flesh,” Galatians 5:19–21, KJV), and the new life in Christ (the “fruit of the Spirit,” Galatians 5:22–
