When we're called to produce the Fruit of the Spirit, we need to know what that means, and we need to know what counterfeit fruit looks like.

In John 16, Jesus tells his disciples that it’s a really good thing that he is going to go away from them, because when he does, he’s going to send them the Spirit. And when the Spirit comes, he will convict them (18), and guide them into all the truth (13). Now, listen to what he says in vv. 14-15 about the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
