Which of the following is a fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5?

• A. Courage
• B. Love
• C. Wealth
• D. Pride

Answer: (B)

Fruits of the Spirit refer to character traits God produces in a believer when guided by the Spirit, not through human effort. In Galatians 5:22-23, Paul names nine of these traits that show up as people live in step with the Spirit. Among the options, Love is the correct choice because it is one of those nine fruits and sits at the heart of the Spirit-filled life. Love reflects God’s own nature—selfless, enduring, and life-transforming—and it empowers and sustains the rest of the fruits, such as joy, peace, and kindness.

Courage, while admirable, is not listed as a fruit of the Spirit in that passage. Wealth isn’t described there as a spiritual fruit either, and Pride conflicts with the Spirit’s work, which aims to cultivate humility and dependence on God rather than self-exaltation. So, Love is the one from the Galatians list that matches the prompt exactly.
