The fruits of the Spirit will be borne by the man who loves God and keeps the way of the Lord, as the rich clusters of grapes grow on the living vine. Christ is his stronghold. Christ lived the law of God in humanity, and so may man do if he will by faith take hold on the strong and mighty One for strength. If he realizes that he cannot do anything without Christ by his side, God will give him wisdom. But he must cherish the love of Christ in his heart, and practice His lessons; for is he not to love Christ as Christ loved God? Is he not to demonstrate to all with whom he associates that he has the abiding presence of Jesus Christ more than he has ever had it before? Because of his increased responsibilities he must have an increased knowledge of God, and must reveal that living faith that works by love and purifies the soul. {TM 282.3}

Åndens frugter vil blive båret af de mennesker der elsker Gud og følger Herrens vej, som de rige drueklaser på den levende vin. Kristus er hans fæstning. Kristus praktiserede Guds lov i (283) menneskelighed, og således kan mennesker gøre hvis han ved tro vil tage fat i den Stærke og Mægtige for at få styrke. Hvis han indser at han ikke kan gøre noget uden Kristus ved hans side, vil Gud give ham visdom. Men han må tage vare på Kristi kærlighed i hans hjerte, og udøve hans lære; for skal han ikke elske Kristus som Kristus elskede Gud? Skal han ikke bevise overfor alle som han omgås at han har den blivende nærværelse af Jesus Kristus som han aldrig før har haft? På grund af hans tiltagende ansvar må han have et tiltagende gudskendskab, og må vise at levende tro der arbejder ved kærlighed renser sjælen.
