How does faith relate to the fruits of the Spirit?
Answered in 1 source
Faith is the means by which we experience and bear the fruits of the Spirit in our lives.
The relationship between faith and the fruits of the Spirit is foundational to the Christian life. Faith is not merely intellectual assent but an active trust in Christ that results in spiritual transformation. When believers place their faith in Christ, they are indwelled by the Holy Spirit, which produces the fruits of the Spirit such as love, joy, peace, and others, as described in Galatians 5:22-23. Rather than striving to produce these fruits by their own effort, believers are called to focus on their union with Christ, allowing the Holy Spirit to work through them. Thus, faith is the channel through which the believer's life is marked by the manifestation of the Spirit's fruit.
