Answered in 1 source
The fruit signifies the spiritual results of a believer’s life that comes from abiding in Christ.
In John 15, Jesus emphasizes that the fruit produced by believers is a direct result of their union with Him. This fruit is not merely activities or works but represents the transformation and character of Christ manifesting through a believer’s life. Spiritual fruit includes qualities like love, joy, peace, and other fruits that contribute to the growth and maturity of the church. These changes affirm a believer's faith and demonstrate the efficacy of God’s work within them. As Christians engage in prayer and remain in Christ, the outpouring of spiritual fruit exemplifies their relationship with Him.
