The fruits of holiness
And it is also matter of daily experience that by grace we are thus saved through faith. It is by faith that the eye of the mind is opened to see the light of the glorious love of God. And as long as it is steadily fixed upon it, on God in Christ reconciling the world to himself (2 Corinthians 5:19), we are more and more filled with the love of God and man, with meekness, gentleness, long-suffering, with all the fruits of holiness which are through Christ Jesus to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 1:11).
