The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Jesus displayed these excellent qualities throughout his life on earth, because they reflect the character of God himself. And from the moment you received Jesus as your Savior and Lord, that "fruit" has gradually and increasingly begun to appear in your life. This study helps you recognize these truths and how you can increasingly allow the holy spirit to work through you to bear good fruit in all walks of your life.

In this LifeChange topical Bible study you will look at each fruit of the Spirit one session at a time in the order that Paul presents them. Each session will focus on one key passage of scripture that fully describes the fruit being considered.

The LifeChange Topical studies are optimized for small group use. Every study is broken down into 8-9 sessions of about 45 minutes. Each session includes:

• Questions, interpretation, and application of a passage to the topic
• Personally focused "Your Response" question
• "For Further Study" section that gives readers another passage to explore around the topic
• Callouts that include language study, historical context, and illuminating quotes from commentaries
