Re: The Importance Of The Fruit Of The Spirit.
Fruit of the Spirit means everything. Gifts do not.

People can SEE and HEAR gifts operated, but fruit of the Spirit is character, and so is not so sensational and appealing to the flesh.

The Corinthians came behind in no gift (1 Cor 1:7) and yet were striving and dividing with one another. The phrase "they're Corinthians" is used by many who understand this to criticize those who are enamoured over gifts but have not fruit.
