"So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature...But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law...Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit."
Galatians 5: 16,22,23,25
The fruits of the Spirit are like the vegetables in one's diet. Eat as many as you like, there's no law against it, they are good for you. But gratifying the sinful nature is like indulging in too much cheesecake. Tastes excellent at first, then it sits like a leaden ball in your stomach, wreaking havoc on your system.
Don't let the rich foods of the world bog you down. Partake in the best, most nutritious things and you'll be able to keep in step with the Spirit, leading an abundant life.
