How is love for the brethren a fruit of the Spirit?

Answered in 1 source

Love for the brethren is a fruit of the Spirit because it originates from our regeneration and connection to Christ.

In Galatians 5:22, love is listed as the first fruit of the Spirit, highlighting its foundational role in the life of a believer. As John explains in 1 John 3, true love for fellow believers cannot be generated by human effort but is a natural result of being connected to Christ through the Holy Spirit. This divine love motivates us to act on behalf of others, leading us to assist and bear one another's burdens, as evidence that we are genuinely part of God’s family. Therefore, love as a fruit of the Spirit is a vital indicator of our spiritual condition and our relationship with the Lord.
