That the Fruit of the Spirit are evident in the very nature and character of God himself. Holy Spirit include: Breath of the Almighty. Power of the Highest.
Spirit of Judgment.
Spirit of Life.
Spirit of Christ.
The vine draws nourishment from the root and pumps that nourishment into the branches so they can bear fruit. This means that the spiritual life is not our work; and the fruit we bear is not ours either. It's God's work in us. Fruit is a good thing that results from hard work and careful tending. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” Fruit is evidence of being connected to Christ, just as branches of a tree or a grapevine have to be connected to the trunk to bear fruit. But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness.
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. You will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord [displaying admirable character, moral courage, and personal integrity], to [fully] please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing in the knowledge of God [with deeper faith, clearer insight and fervent love for His precepts]; strengthened and invigorated with all power, according to His glorious might, to attain every kind of endurance and patience with joy.
