Galatians 5:22-23 The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things, there is no law.
When we believe in Jesus as our personal Savior, He abides in our hearts through the Holy Spirit.

Ezekiel 36:26-27 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.

When we allow ourselves to be led by the Holy Spirit, He develops a new nature to cherish and cultivate as opposed to the old nature of sinful characteristics.

The fruit of the Spirit is developed as a person matures in Christ. This fruit is evidence of spiritual maturity in our lives and grows as we allow the Holy Spirit to work in us, not just through us. It is a distinct purpose as a Christian to progressively allow the Holy Spirit to produce His fruit in our hearts and allow Him to conquer opposing sinful desires.

O, please let me know and understand and walk in the very essence of Your Holy Spirit at all times.

Galatians 5:25 Since we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also be guided.

Romans 8:5 Walk in newness of life.
