We can only fulfill the command to love one another if the Spirit of Jesus Christ abides in us. He will be with you if you have confessed him as your Lord and Savior. The Spirit has His own fruit, and it is all good and positive.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
These are the actions of a Spirit filled believer in Jesus Christ. All of the Spiritual fruit are given to us. There are also spiritual gifts some of which are listed in other scriptures (Rom 12 and 1 Cor 12). We must learn to walk in the love of God, loving others and experiencing joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and self control. These are the fruit of a Spirit filled believer.
Jesus spoke of knowing a person by his fruit.
Luk 6:43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Let us not show both good and evil in our manner of living.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Gal 5:26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
We are to live and walk in the Holy Spirit of God so that all will see your good fruit and glorify God.
