In Galatians Chapter 5 we see a contrast between the Works of the Flesh versus the Fruit of the Spirit.  Paul explains that the works of the flesh are things we do in our own strength however the Fruit of the Spirit is something that the Holy Spirit produces in us and therefore something we cannot take credit for.  Galatians 5 gives us the key to being able to produce fruit and that is to abide in the Holy Spirit.  If we are not producing the fruit of the spirit, this would be an indicator that we are not abiding.
