These are the characteristics of a person in whom the Holy Spirit resides, - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. These are the characteristics of a person in whom the Holy Spirit doesn’t reside, - sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. Now occasionally, there will be flair ups of sin because we are still fleshly beings, however, for the most part, we should exhibit the characteristics of Jesus. You should be quite concerned with your salvation if you lean more toward the second list. If this is the case for you, pray again for forgiveness, commit your life to Jesus, turn away from sin, and turn your life around. It may be challenging, but if you are truly committed to Jesus, it will be possible for you to change because of the Holy Spirit.
And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Galatians 5:24-25
