The fruit of the Spirit comprises which two categories?

• A. joy; peace
• B. grace; mercy
• C. attitudes; actions
• D. wisdom; understanding

Answer: (C)

The fruit of the Spirit describes character that God works into a believer’s life, showing up in two broad kinds of outcomes: inner attitudes and outward actions. This helps you see that transformation isn’t only about how we feel or think, but also about how we live and treat others. The virtues produced by the Spirit include inner dispositions that guide our thoughts and feelings, and they also show up in concrete conduct toward people around us. So grouping them as attitudes (the inner character traits) and actions (the outward expressions of that character) captures both sides of spiritual growth.

Other options pair two fruits or refer to concepts that aren’t listed as the fruit of the Spirit, so they don’t address how the fruit are categorized. This is why the best answer describes the two-category idea: attitudes and actions.
