Fruit of the Spirit Galatians 5: 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 meekness, and self-control; against such there is no law. The Holy Spirit is God. Once you receive Jesus Christ as your Saviour and LORD, the Holy Spirit lives within you. As you yield your life to God and seek Him in prayer and praise and worship and Bible study, The Holy Spirit teaches you, leads you and guides you. The Holy Spirit transforms you from glory to glory. It is the presence of God residing in you that changes you: godly fruit develops as you are in the presence of God. It is God’s character being formed on the inside of you. Only the Holy Spirit can do it. It’s God’s desire that we would be trees of righteousness the planting of the LORD. It is God’s desire that we would bear much fruit for God’s glory.
