The Cross has been a symbol of the debt paid by Christ for our sins. I have long strived to edify the Fruits of the Spirit in my life. Creating a visual of the Fruits serves as a reminder of how our relationship with Christ can transform us to become followers that honor Him in our walk. Just as the cross is a symbol, each of the 9 smaller artworks within the cross symbolize each Fruit and what it means to me.

To be fully absorbed and transformed in the characteristics that God encourages, in the Fruits of Spirit, I believe is the best armor of God we can put on.
