After accepting Jesus into your heart as Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit now resides in you. Now there are two natures: your spiritual nature and your fleshly nature. The Holy Spirit will (as you yield yourself to Him through prayer and reading the Bible) begin to show Christ's nature through you. But, also, there are the fruits of the flesh which are opposite to the fruits of the Spirit and this is a battle that goes on constantly. But, the good news is, Greater is He that is "in" you than he that is in the world. So just keep it simple. Ask Christ to be with you on a daily basis and help you live a life pleasing to Him. Remember most of all He loves you with a love you will never understand or comprehend. Love is His nature!!!

Galatians 5:22
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

In Galations chapter 5 If you read verses 16-26 it will give you a better understanding of the "fruits of the spirirt" It gives also a descriptiton of the acts od the sinful nature. The fruits are listed as love,joy,peace,patience,kindness,goodness, faithfulness,and self control. I hope this helps May God Bless.

God bestows upon all members of His church in every age spiritual gifts which each member is to employ in loving ministry for the common good of the church and of humanity. Given by the agency of the Holy Spirit, who apportions to each member as He wills, the gifts provide all abilities and ministries needed by the church to fulfill its divinely ordained functions. According to the Scriptures, these gifts include such ministries as faith, healing, prophecy, proclamation, teaching, administration, reconciliation, compassion, and self-sacrificing service and charity for the help and encouragement of people. Some members are called of God and endowed by the Spirit for functions recognized by the church in pastoral, evangelistic, apostolic, and teaching ministries particularly needed to equip the members for service, to build up the church to spiritual maturity, and to foster unity of the faith and knowledge of God. When members employ these spiritual gifts as faithful stewards of God's varied grace, the church is protected from the destructive influence of false doctrine, grows with a growth that is from God, and is built up in faith and love. (Rom. 12:4-8; 1 Cor. 12:9-11, 27, 28; Eph. 4:8, 11-16; Acts 6:1-7; 1 Tim. 3:1-13; 1 Peter 4:10, 11.)

"The fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, goodness, kindness, mildness,faith and self-control." Somewhere in Galatians, I think.
