A Bible Study on The Fruit of the Spirit.

Written By Ade Ola

What does it truly look like to live a life led by the Holy Spirit?

In Galatians 5:22-23, the Apostle Paul gives us a powerful image of what the Spirit produces in the life of a believer:

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…”

These are not just admirable qualities; they are evidence of a life deeply rooted in God. Each virtue reflects the character of Christ, and together, they form a portrait of spiritual maturity and growth.

This Bible study lesson invites you to take a closer look at each of these nine virtues—not just as individual traits, but as a unified expression of what it means to walk daily in step with the Spirit.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • Love – the foundation of every other fruit

  • Joy – a deep, lasting gladness that goes beyond circumstances

  • Peace – the calm assurance of God's presence

  • Patience – endurance and grace in the waiting

  • Kindness – a heart that reflects God’s compassion

  • Goodness – choosing what is right and noble

  • Faithfulness – staying true to God and others

  • Gentleness – strength wrapped in humility

  • Self-control – mastery over impulses through God’s power

This isn’t about striving in your own strength. It’s about yielding—allowing the Holy Spirit to shape your character from the inside out. As you reflect on each fruit, you’ll begin to see how the Spirit works in quiet yet powerful ways to transform your heart and your relationships.

Let this study be a gentle guide toward becoming more like Christ—one fruit, one step at a time.
