1 | FRUIT OR FRUITS | Gal 5:22 | RJJ | 117145 | ||
Gal ch5 verses22/23 A Pastor I was listening to raised an interesting point regarding this verse, regarding the fruit of the Spirit. Is there, as taught, seven fruits of the Spirit or, is there only one fruit as in the Scriptures, he went on to say that it was as if the one fruit had seven flavours, has anyone any views, for or against? Later the question was raised, when do we receive the fruit/fruits, when we are born, or when we receive salvation, or when we receive the Holy Spirit. I would like to ask for your comments and scriptural evidence that supports or denies these views. SALOME, RJJ. |

2 | FRUIT OR FRUITS | Gal 5:22 | Emmaus | 117146 | ||
I have never heard the analogy of one fruit, many flavors. Perhaps a fruit loops analogy? ;-) Fruit is a word that can have a single or plural meaning. Those who believe in the efiicacy of sacraments say we receive the Holy Spirit in baptism. Those who do not hold to the efficacy of sacraments hold that we receive the Holy SPirit when we first believe. Either way it is not when we are born but when we are born again (John 3:5-8) "683 "No one can say 'Jesus is Lord' except by the Holy Spirit."(1 Cor 12:3) "God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, 'Abba! Father!"('Gal 4:6) This knowledge of faith is possible only in the Holy Spirit: to be in touch with Christ, we must first have been touched by the Holy Spirit. He comes to meet us and kindles faith in us. ... 152 One cannot believe in Jesus Christ without sharing in his Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit who reveals to men who Jesus is. For "no one can say "Jesus is Lord", except by the Holy Spirit"(1 Cor 12:3) who "searches everything, even the depths of God. . No one comprehends the thoughts of God, except the Spirit of God."(1 Cor 2:10-11) Only God knows God completely: we believe in the Holy Spirit because he is God. 1831 The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. They belong in their fullness to Christ, Son of David.(Cf. Isa 11:1-2) They complete and perfect the virtues of those who receive them. They make the faithful docile in readily obeying divine inspirations. Let your good spirit lead me on a level path.(Ps 143:10) For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God . . . If children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ.(Rom 8:14,17) 1832 The fruits of the Spirit are perfections that the Holy Spirit forms in us as the first fruits of eternal glory. The tradition of the Church lists twelve of them: "charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, chastity."(Gal 5:22-23 (Vulg.)."
