The fruit of the Spirit, listed by Paul in Galatians 5, is a commonly memorized list that, on its surface, seems simple enough. It includes virtues many may view as an idealistic goal we may or may not eventually obtain. Yet, as we dig a little deeper, we are left with the reality that this list, as idealistic as it may sound, is not simply an end goal for the spiritual elite amongst us. Rather, these fruits are intended to be seen as an inevitable reality in the life of every believer. The question remains, then, why do so many struggle to bear that fruit? As we look through Paul's list, we will seek to address that struggle. As we do, we will see the source of the fruit, the appearance of the fruit, and the process of growing that fruit in our everyday life.
