The fruit of the Spirit

Many people might call themselves a "Christian" but, the truth is, they don't even know who Jesus is, or, display any of His characteristics. "The fruit of the Spirit" (Galatians 5:22-23) is a biblical phrase used to describe the nine different characteristics of the Holy Spirit that lives in the heart of every true Christian the second that they ask Jesus to come into their heart; and they believe that Jesus bled and died on the cross for our sins; that God brought His Son, Jesus Christ, back to life on the third day, and they make Jesus Christ their personal Lord and Savior to become born again. Many people might call themselves a Christian but, the truth is, they don't even know who Jesus is, or, display any of His characteristics. Jesus said "You will be able to identify every person by their "fruit" (Matthew 7:16-20). A true Christian will not bear fruit of the wicked but only fruit of the godly.
