Vivification
Fruit of the Spirit
Sanctification · 6 verses
The Holy Spirit produces distinctive spiritual fruit in believers' lives—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—as evidence of His indwelling presence and sanctifying work. These graces, flowing organically from vital union with Christ rather than through mere human striving, manifest the character of God reproduced in redeemed humanity through sovereign grace.
