However, the believer knows by his own life, that all the fruit that is given in him comes from that "true vine", which is Christ; and through Christ and in Christ the fruits of the Spirit are given in him: "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance" (Galatians 5: 22-23).
No one can bear these fruits by himself if he is not Christ in him; it would be as absurd as if the branch wanted to produce grapes without being attached to the vine.
