Faith of Our Fathers

In light of these important considerations of a spiritual mentor, we conclude that such seminal figures must epitomize invaluable spiritual traits. Not surprisingly, the best traits of a spiritual father are already revealed in the Word of God. Biblical principles form the basis of practicality. We discover the best fatherly traits in alignment with Galatians 5:22-23: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law."
