Galatians 5:22-23, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
It is very important to realize and never vary from the profound Truth presented in Galatians 5:22-23.
These Fruit are Spiritual Fruit.
These Fruit are the ultimate manifestation of the Life of God.
These Fruit cannot be created or reproduced by a Saint, but only received by Saints.
These Fruit are a part of each Saint by the indwelling Holy Spirit.
The Scriptural identity of each Fruit must be known by the Greek word from which the English is translated.
Love – agape
Joy – chara
Peace – Eirene
Long-suffering – makrothumia
Gentleness – chrestotes
Goodness – agathosune
Faith – pistis
Meekness – praotes
Temperance – egkrateia
Yet, these Fruit are only experienced as a Saint Sees/Hears this Truth from the Word of God (with the Spiritual Eyes/Spiritual Ears), believes (in the Mind of God within), and receives/trusts (with the Heart of God) and thus experiences them.
When seen in many verses in Scripture, a Saint must remember the parabolic language of Heavenly Truth and know that what appears to say that we must do/obtain, etc. is actually a parabolic revelation of the Life of Holy Spirit Himself. The verses for Saints are to prompt the denial of self-attainment or self-action and the total dependence upon God to manifest Himself in these Fruit.
