NOTE

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT I GAL 5:22-25

Physically, fruit can be defined as the end product of a seed. But in the context of our lesson, fruit can be referred to as attributes, character or behavior of a person. It can be good or bad. Both the flesh and the spirit produce fruits.

The fruit of the spirit is a biblical term that sums up the nine visible attributes of a true Christian life written by Paul.

The entire nine fruit of the spirit emanate from LOVE.

For instance a loving Christian will have the following attributes Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Peace, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentility and Self Control.

In other words, it could be said that LOVE is the tree that bears the fruit of Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Peace, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self Control.

The nine fruit of the spirit come from the Holy Spirit and not from Christians, they are produced and supplied by the Holy Spirit to true Christians. The fruit of the spirit are practiced by Christians.
