    Contributed by Lucy Paynter on Oct 21, 2023

     | 2,904 views

    In Galatians 5:22–23, Paul shifts to happier thoughts, saying, “But the fruit of the Spirit is …” In what follows, he gives nine characteristics of the Holy Spirit’s work in the life of a born-again believer.

In other words, a believer doesn’t have some and not others, though their relative strength may vary. Love, by which Paul means the love of God ...read more
