Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

If every human on the planet earth treated every other human on the planet FAITHFULLY with LOVE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, GENTLENESS and SELF-CONTROL our planet would be filled PEACE and JOY.

Fair point.

Now...how do you propose that we go about getting everybody on the planet to do so?

Well said.
 
Romans 8:9a,11 -

"9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. [...]
[...]
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken [*G2227 - zoopoiesei] your mortal bodies [<--the ones we still live in! in the here and now!] by [means of] his Spirit that dwelleth in you."


*G2227 - zoopoiesei/zóopoieó - "vitalize, enliven, animate, empower with divine life"


[IOW, this is only possible for believers/saints/the redeemed/the saved/those "in Christ" (i.e. those having the Spirit)]

LocoPony got close, and you're getting close.

The answer I was seeking is "The Holy Spirit does it in the heart of the believer; it's not by our own efforts." :)
