The fruit of life in Christ is love. When you come to Christ, something has changed in your core. Your heart is new, you have been cleansed of all unrighteousness, and your heart wants to trust Jesus. The fruit of that is love for one another. We begin to love people that we didn't love before. We see that in the example of Jew and Gentile. When the gospel hits Jewish and Gentile hearts, there is a love there that wasn't there before. For an unbeliever, the fruit is not one of love, it is one of hate. We see that in the world today. That's why John said "whoever hates his brother walks in darkness". * The fruit of life in Christ is love. When you come to Christ, something has changed in your core.
