Paul wrote that when God's Spirit lives in us, good fruit grows in our lives, just like apples grow on an apple tree!
The fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
We can't make this fruit grow by trying super hard on our own. It grows when we stay close to God!
