Every born again believer WILL have this fruit, all of the fruit.
Galatians 5:22-23
"22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."

The Fruit, All of it!
Notice that the fruit, in the believers life is singular and it is the character qualities of Christ, not works, even though there will be works, it is not the works themselves that define us.
Every born again believer WILL have this fruit, all of the fruit.
Galatians 5:22-23
"22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."

Do It All For The Lord
It's isn't the level of employment that makes the man, it is the diligence with which he does that job, "as unto the Lord", that counts.
It isn't the level of employment that makes a man, it is the kindness and love with which he treats his fellow worker.
It isn't the level of employment that makes a man, it is the support to his boss while doing what he can to make his boss successful.
There are many in high level jobs who care little about their fellow man, the success of their boss or the witness for Christ, their only aim is the money they bring home, this is far from the standard of God.
Our witness in the world, our diligence, kindness, helpfulness, respect and integrity is what counts. If we do not possess these things then we have nothing.
Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men, 24 because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.…

"Behold I Come Quickly!"
Revelation 22:12 "12“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to each person according to what he has done."
When Christ said "I come quickly", according to those who have looked into the original language, means "when things begin speeding up, then I will come."
One of the things we notice in the end times is the dramatic increase in technology and perversion, simultaneously.
Matthew 24:7-8 "…7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains."
We know we are in the very end of days because the labor pains are increasing in frequency and intensity.

Questioning the Pharisees
Why is it that many Christians experience more contempt from other Christians than they do from the world?
The meanest actions I have experienced have been on the part of those who call themselves Christian, sadly over my insistence that we use the Bible as our standard in spiritual discussions. And, to top it all off, from those who have attended Bible schools or seminaries, as though it is a high crime to question them at all.
Matthew 23:15 "… 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You traverse land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are."
