Paul teaches that Christians cannot overcome their sinful nature through effort alone. Instead, we must daily surrender to the Holy Spirit’s leadership, remaining connected to Christ like branches to a vine. When we abide in Him through constant contact and prayer, the Spirit produces His fruit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—in our lives.
