Fruit

The Fruit of the Spirit may be one of the better known Bible passages, and it is a favorite for use as a memory verse. One of the more common mistakes is hearing people say, "The fruits of the Spirit." Fruit is singular in Galatians.

Galatians 5:22-23New International Version (NIV)

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Theologically it's not a huge problem, but I think there might be a temptation to say, "I've got the joy fruit, but not much of the patience fruit." While it's true that different people have varying temperaments, the passage is really saying that the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit is all of these things.

When we are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in us, then we are producing great things and others are able to take notice of this. God's blessings on your fruit bearing!
