The fruit of the Spirit mentioned in Galatians 5 is a well-known and well-read passage, but often it's missed that "fruit" is not plural. We don't receive parts of the fruit, or only percentages of the fruit. When we choose to follow Christ, and yield to the Holy Spirit, we get it all! Adam Barnett continues our look at the Third Person of the Trinity with the reminder of all the power Holy Spirit provides!

Galatians 5:22-26 NIV
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
Spirit-fueled development of Christ-like character is evidence of knowing God.
