In Phillipians 4:8, Paul advises us to think on things that are:
true;
noble;
just;
pure;
lovely;
of good report;
of any virtue;
worthy of praise.
In Colossians 3:12-16, the church members are told to put on (wear) these things:
tender mercies;
kindness;
humility;
meekness;
patience.
Galatians 5:22, where Paul gives us a list of fruit. The list is meant as a contrast to the list of the deeds of the flesh' found in 5:19-20. The fruit list is clearly not intended as an exhaustive description of the fruit, but was given to highlight the fruit that Paul wants the Galatian church to keep in mind. He lists the following fruit:
love;
joy;
peace;
patience;
kindness;
goodness;
faithfulness;
gentleness;
self-control.
OTHER PASSAGES WHICH BEAR FRUIT
Paul's Galatians list is made of stuff that is both something you are and something you do. It is the Spirit giving you the character of Christ. There are other such lists in the Epistles, and they are also relevant to any talk about the 'fruit of the Spirit'.
In 1 Cor 13, in the midst of Paul's description of the gifts of the Spirit, there is a section on love. While not directly about 'fruit', it is about what springs from love, and it is in much the same vein. According to verses 3-8, love:
suffers long;
is kind;
does not envy;
does not parade itself;
does not get 'puffed up';
does not behave rudely;
is not provoked;
does not think evilly, nor rejoice in sin;
rejoices in the truth;
bears all things;
believes all things;
hopes all things;
endures all things.

The image of god is that of an Omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient merciful, grace giving energy - the will, cause substance, and matter of creation;
Having given us the breath to breathe and the air to breath it;
not foolish enough;
to think that nothing exists except the misguided un-evolved cannibals of this tiny planet called earth
- who think that the sun goes round them and the earth.
That is the image of god.

GOD is a being with a spirit so HE created man a being with a spirit. Praise the LORD.

Jesus said that He was slain from the foundation of the world. Therefore, Christ was in God at creation so I believe we were formed in the image of Christ.

GOD TO ME IS A THOUGHT OR MAY BE SOUL WITHIN ME, THAT GUIDES MY EVERY WAKING MOMENT.
BODY THAT YOU SAY IS MADE BY GOD, FUNCTIONS WITH THOUGHTS, IF THOUGHTS WERE NOT THERE, WHAT WOULD THERE BE, BUT A USELESS PIECE OF MEAT. SO GOD IS A THOUGHT THAT YOU CAN'T SEE OR TOUCH, BUT WITHOUT WHICH WE WOULD NOT EXIST. IT LIVES IN WITHIN US AND WE LIVE WITH IN IT.
