What does it mean to have the fruit of the Spirit?

Answered in 1 source

Having the fruit of the Spirit means exhibiting characteristics like love, joy, and peace, which are evidence of a life transformed by the Holy Spirit.

The fruit of the Spirit is described in Galatians 5:22-23 as the result of the Holy Spirit’s work in the lives of Christians. Unlike the works of the flesh, the fruit is a singular expression of the character of Christ that manifests in multiple facets, including love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. This spiritual fruit is not produced through our own efforts but as believers are yielded to the Holy Spirit. It serves as the evidence of spiritual maturity, indicating that a believer is living in accordance with God's will and is genuinely transformed by grace.
