Fruit of the Spirit

Just a random thought........I thought it was so neat that Matt preached the other morning about the Fruit of the spirit not being plural. It doesn't say "fruits" of the spirit. You can't have one but not another. You can't have peace but not have joy or have love but not have kindness, etc. When you are full of the spirit and operating in the spirit you have all of these. Not sure why I've never noticed that? :)

Galatians 5:21-23
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control.
