When we talk about the fruits of the spirit, we mean: love, joy, peace patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. The scriptures say that we will know "them" by their fruits. I always have taken this to mean individual people.
However, this can apply to church congregations as well. What sort of fruit do you notice among your church congregation, as a whole? If the fruits of the Spirit are evidenced, then it is a good "tree."
TV~ (Today's Verse)
So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.… [Matthew 7:18]
