Fruits of the spirit

Religious experience unfailingly yields the “fruits of the spirit” in the daily life of the spirit-led mortal. (5:2.4,6) 99:5.6 155:6.15

The convincing evidence of this spiritual certainty consists in the social fruits of the spirit which such believers, faithers, yield as a result of this genuine spiritual experience. 102:6.7

the Father requires of us only that we shall bear much fruit. 180:2.1 193:2.2

God’s will become increasingly discernible in the spirit fruits which are borne in the lives of the spirit-led children of God 12:7.7

we must bring forth the fruits of the Father’s spirit if we would continue to ascend in the progressive life of the divine fellowship 140:1.4
