What does the Bible say about spiritual fruit?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the fruit of the Spirit includes love, joy, peace, and other virtues, produced by the Holy Spirit in genuine believers.

According to Galatians 6:1-10, the Apostle Paul outlines the nature of spiritual fruit, referring specifically to the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23, which includes qualities such as love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. It is essential to recognize that this fruit is singular; it represents the complete character of the Holy Spirit's work in the life of a believer. All these attributes operate together, indicating that as one grows in the Spirit, they will not only exhibit some but all of these virtues. The fruit is not produced by the believer's effort but by the Holy Spirit, affirming the sovereignty of God in the process of sanctification.
