Galatians 5:22
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
The Spirit produces fruit in our lives as we abide in Christ and cultivate His presence.
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are not achievements we manufacture but fruit that grows naturally from our connection to the Vine. These qualities emerge as we yield to the Spirit's work in our hearts. Growth happens not through striving but through surrender.
Apply This Today
Choose one fruit of the Spirit to focus on today, asking God to cultivate it in your life through His power rather than your effort.
Prayer
Holy Spirit, I cannot produce spiritual fruit on my own. Help me abide in Christ so deeply that His character naturally flows through me. Grow Your fruit in my life. Amen.
