22) And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,
23) meekness, temperance: against such there is no law;

Is there ever a time we should not be Loving, Joyful, Peaceable, Patient, Kind, Good, Faithful, Meek, Self-Controlled?

What does it look like from the outside when the Holy Spirit produces His fruit in us?

What does it feel like on the inside?

How do we know when we are and are not bearing spiritual fruit?

Much love!

Much love!
When we also read ephesians , its shows us exactly what the SPIRIT does .
FOR the FRUIT of the SPIRIT is in all goodness ,righteousness and truth , PROVING that which is WELL PLEASING TO GOD ,
ACCEPTABLE TO GOD .
thus any love that calls evil good and good evil , that accepts sins , YEAH it AINT OF GOD at all .
ITS of the world and its false . Most folks are now under the false love , the false unity
the false etc . ANYTHING that contradicts our HOLY GOD , HIS CHRIST , the teachings of those apostels ,
IS FALSE . AS i am sure you know that . Just a friendly reminder to all .

Hello! Jesus said that a good tree cannot bear bad fruit and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Likewise, those who walk in the Spirit cannot bear bad fruit because his old nature is dead (he died to sin) and is now a new creature. Jesus said that whoever sins is a servant of sin. He came to save us from sin so that we may be able to live righteously. If a Christian still struggles with sin, he is called carnal as Apostle Paul calls it in Corinthians. And he said that a carnal cannot obey God and is enmity against God. Therefore one must truly repent, like the Corinthians did when they were rebuked, so they can bear fruit and walk in Spirit. In short, a Spiritual Christian does not stop bearing fruit like sometimes they don't bear and sometimes they don't, that's incorrect.

You will know if you are bearing fruit if you can't sin anymore and does not offend anybody. No more strife, no more envy, no more lust, etc. You are not bearing fruit if you still sin. Because a good tree cannot bear bad fruit. Whoever sins is a servant of sin. You cannot be both a servant of sin and a servant of righteousness. No man can serve two masters.

I speak this based on experience. Because before I was a servant of sin. I keep struggling to fight it, until I died to sin and was born again. That's when God said anyone who is born of God cannot sin because his seed remains in him.
