"The fruits of the Spirit are most clearly demonstrated in our relationships with others. They are a visible and practical measure of our spirituality." i.e. the way we get along with those around us tells others about God's love. The quotation is from a recent IVCF daily devotional.
Galatians 5:22-23 (Version: The Message)

But what happens when we live God’s way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments,not needing to force our way in life, able to marshal and direct our energies wisely. Legalism is helpless in bringing this about; it only gets in the way.
