The Bible talks about four distinct “fruit of the Spirit” in Galatians 5:22-26. The four fruit of the Spirit are: love, joy, peace, and self-control. Not every Christian experiences all of these fruit. However, we can all experience a small taste of each of these fruit. When we do, we develop a better understanding of what the Bible means when it speaks of the fruit of the Spirit.
He is full of joy, peace
He has given us joy in his presence, peace in his favor. He has taught us how to live in a world of security and peace. He has made us willing to do good and to share with others, walking in a spirit of humility. When we are in his presence, he fills our souls with great joy and peace and makes us willing to do good and share with others. [2] He has calmed our fears and showed us his love. He has given us peace and comfort in times of trouble. He is patient with us and he will never grow impatient with us. The Bible also tells us that he is full of mercy and is the very source of our mercy. He has forgiven our sins, and has rescued us from sin by his grace and has saved us from its power. [3] We have so much to be thankful for and to praise and worship Him. [4]
He is meek
The Bible says that in 1 Peter 1:5 that God sets us apart from the world through our meekness. He calls us to be humble in our dealings with others and in our own dealings with God. The Greek word “meek” means to be gentle, humble, and patient. God is meek, and we need to be, as well. Meekness is not a virtue to be granted to us by God or by the world; it is something that we are to choose. If we choose to be meek, we have something worth sharing with others. It is something that can change our relationships with others and with God. God’s meekness gives us a Christ-like demeanor, which transforms our attitudes and allows us to endure difficult circumstances.
He is self-controlled
(Galatians 5:23): Then the spirit giveth (or withholds) to whom it will, to each one: (24) according as he (or she) doth his (or her) good pleasure, be it unto (or against) him (or her)
He is merciful
The fruit of the spirit includes gratitude, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. These fruits are listed in Galatians 5:22. We must remember that God is often just and merciful and so we should live by these characteristics. We must also remember that God does not expect us to feel this way all the time. God expects us to be merciful in the situations that we find ourselves in. For example, it would not be right for us to hit an old man who has fallen down because we were in a hurry to get to work.
He is virtuous
The fruit of the spirit, also referred to as the “good works” in Galatians 5:22-23, is the practical expression of Christian discipleship. The fruit of the spirit demonstrates the fruit of the Christian life, such as patience, kindness, self-control, humility, etc. These characteristics are referred to as the “fruit of the Spirit” because they are a natural outgrowth of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus told his disciples that they should “be like little children” (Luke 18:18), he was pointing out that they should be slow to anger, kind to others, good-natured, considerate, humble and patient, and eager to do good. These characteristics can all be considered fruits of the Spirit.
