Spirit Led Life

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
‭‭
— Galatians‬ ‭5:22-23‬ ‭
At first glance, there appears to be a grammatical error in this verse. Note carefully: “The FRUIT of the Spirit is love, joy, peace…”
Not FRUITS. FRUIT.
The nine fruits listed here are a cluster describing the evidence of the life of Christ within us. The fruit is singular here because it is the outcropping of one’s life within. The fruit represents what we are rather than what we do. Here we are reintroduced to the principle of being before doing. What we do is determined by who, or whose, we are!
