9 Fruits Of The Spirit (Character Traits)
The “fruits of the (Holy) Spirit” is a concept found in the Bible about character traits that will bear in a person’s life the deeper they mature spiritually. Even if you are not a Christian, it is a great guidepost for what parameters to lead your life.
Galatians 5:19-25
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
