Planting

When the soil is cultivated, the seed must be selected and placed into the soil. The selection of the seed will determine the type of fruit you will harvest. If you do not actually select the seed, and instead let any seed fall on to your soil, you will not get the fruit you intend.

The only truly good fruit of the spirit comes from the seed of Christ. Once the person has a humble heart and repents of their sin (the choices, actions or non-actions, that have come in the way of their relationship with Christ), the next step is to choose the right seed (Christ) and ask the Father to plant Him within you (come into your heart). The Bible calls this process Justification.
