The Fruit of The Spirit
Some people become as bewitched with Romans 6, 7, and 8 as the Galatians. They make those verses a law, and change the source of righteousness from God to self. This creates a new kind of legalism that is used to measure our Christianity by our performance instead of spiritual fruition. For the Christian, cross bearing involves discipline and faith involves discipline, but any righteousness that comes forth is the fruit of the Spirit.
