The Holy Spirit within us produces faith, meekness, temperance, love, joy, peace, longsuffering, goodness, gentleness – against such there is no law.
Love as much as you want to, have as much joy as one desires. According as God’s divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue, the nine virtues.
The fruit of the spirit, these moral strengths are of greatest importance when no one but God is observing our character and behavior.
If we have faith, meekness and temperance when only God is watching, we will also have these strengths when others are watching and our living will gloridy God and be beneficial to those whose lives we touch.
All nine of the virtues which are the fruit of the spirit are needed for truly Christlike living.
