Actions are not fruit. The fruit are character qualities, from these character qualities come right actions. But the character comes first.
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."
We can do good deeds to glorify ourselves, they do not count with God. The true character qualities that come from Christ in us and flesh out in our actions are the only actions that count.
