Admin	Beattitudes and the Gifts Posted : 5 Dec, 2010 04:19 PM Is it possible that the Beatitudes parallel the Gifts of the Spirit? I was studying this a long time ago. I never had heard any teaching about it but thought it was interesting. From the KJV. Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. The gifts are in parenthesis _ Mat 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (faith) Mat 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. (gentleness) Mat 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. (meekness) Mat 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (longsuffering) Mat 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (goodness) Mat 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. (love) Mat 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (peace) Mat 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (temperance) Mat 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Mat 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. (joy) Just a thought. Thunder Post Reply

The way I see it is the fruits are produced in the person through the indwelling Holy Spirit. Just like a tree pulls the nutrients it needs from the soil to produce good fruit and in the absence of nutrients produces poor fruit. So with the Holy Spirit good fruit is produced, without the Holy Spirit acts of the sinful nature are produced. Post Reply
