When walking in the Spirit you will show this kind of fruit: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, self-control. Galatians 5:22-23
When walking in wisdom you are cautious and watchful. (circumspectly: watchful and discreet; prudent) Ephesians 5:15
When walking in unity walk as the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) they are 3 in 1. The church should be as one "Endeavoring (striving) to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one spirit..."Ephesians 4:3 We must work at unity!
When walking in love we must imitate God. It says to "be imitators of God as dear children" Ephesians 5:1 It reminds me of watching my parents and imitating them as I grow. I imitate what I have seen or learned from my earthly parents. Do I mess up? All the time. I don't give up because of my mistakes. I learn and my parents don't hate me because of mistakes they expect them and allow them so I can grow. It's the same with God. He has given us all we need to imitate Him and He knows it'll take us messing up, Trusting Him and getting back up to try and imitate Him again. Ephesians goes on to say "
And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma." love others as Jesus loves, sacrificial love.
