The Mark of Patience
Patience - (Greek: makrothumia) makro - long in distance or duration; thumia - heat, passion, suffering, anger. makro + thumia - long suffering, slow to anger, slow to lose one's temper or passion. To have a long fuse. How long is your fuse? In Paul’s letter to the Ephesians he challenged them to live according to what they had received. He told them to “put off the old self” and to “put on the new self.” One of the marks of the new self that he told them to bear was the mark of patience. As Christ followers and as those who have received the gift of the Holy Spirit we can yield our lives to the Spirit’s calling and exhibit the mark of patience.

Fruit of the Spirit 5 – Patience
God has called and equipped Christians to walk in patience, in all areas of our lives. One aspect of patience that we will look at is being slow to anger. When we are quick to anger, the Bible says that we let down our defenses and that we look foolish. We are to walk in patience with each other as well as with the world. Peter and Paul both tell us to specifically watch how we act when we’re in front of people in the world so we won’t give them an excuse to criticize Christianity.
