Welcome to the website of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Australia. We are a Presbyterian church, constituted as several congregations along the east coast of Australia, whose aim is to faithfully proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, in the tradition of the Protestant Reformation. We believe the truth of the Holy Bible as expressed in the Westminister Confessional Standards as originally adopted by the Reformed Church of Scotland. |

Developing the Fruit of the Spirit |
|
The Fruit of the Spirit as found in Galatians 5:22,23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance : against such there is no law." The Fruit of the Spirit is a gift of Christ whereby the Spirit works in those of us who are His, to produce fruit which becomes evident in every aspect of our lives. Though it is a gift, the sovereignty of God, however, does not deny our responsibility. "Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh" (Galatians 5:16). "If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit." (Galatians 5:25). We can therefore develop this gift which is within us; we can develop the fruit by using the means. Prayer is one of the means as God has made it clear that in all things we are to seek after Him for blessing. Ask God for the grace to grow in the Fruit of the Spirit. |

We need absolute truth - truth so pure and perfectly free from lies and mistakes that we can place our trust in it with complete, unqualified confidence. To whom should we turn? |
