Fruitfulness by Pbabi(f): 1:57pm On Jul 13, 2022
The bible often uses the metaphor of fruit to describe the produce of our lives. Fruit can be either good or bad,(matt 7:18 ; Luke 6:43) Romans 7:5 says, " for when we were in the realm of the flesh... We bore fruit for death" A fruitful Christian's will produce better results, the fruit of the righteous is a tree of life.(proveb 11:30.

Fruit is the direct result of the whatever control our hearts (Matt 15:19)
The Fruit of a life not surrendered to Jesus include
1. Sexual immorality
2.impurity and debau6
3. idolatry and witchcraft
4. Hetred, discord
5. Jealousy,fit of rage and many more more evil act. (Gal 5:19-20) In contrast, the "Fruit of the spirit of God"
Love,Joy, peace, patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and self control.(Gal.5:22-23. God the father is the gardener (John 15:11) and he desire us to be fruitful. Jesus said "I am the Vine you're the branches if you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit, apart from me you can not do anything".( John 15:5) As branches cling to the vine we cling to Christ, drawing our very life from him. The goal is "much fruit" as Christ uses us to bring about blessed celestial results in a broken and fallen world.
When we have committed ourselves to Christ and live to please him,the natural results is behavioral choices that look like him. He was clear that true followers of Christ will be recognized by Thier fruit, "Do people pick grapes from thornbushes or fig tree from thistle? Likewise every good tree cannot bear bad fruit,every tree that doesn't bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire thus by Thier fruit you shall know them.( Matt 7:16-20)
There are many ways Christians can be fruitful. True fruitfulness begins in the heart with the fruit of the spirit. That inner fruit affects outward actions, our word's and our activities will glorify the lord, and God's will is accomplished. God's desire is to transform us into the image of Christ (Romans 8:29) and makes us as fruitful as he was in our allegiance to him,we want to be characterized by good works (Ephesians 2:10, Titus 2:7, Colo 1:10) Humanity and forgiveness we want to always be ready to "give an account for the hope that is within you.(1peter 3:15) we desire to be the good soil "Jesus spoke about in the parable of the sower in (matt 13: 3-9.
The result of the spiritual fruitfulness is that God is glorified,we grow and others come to know Christ-- this is the ultimate fruitfulness for a child of God. ( Matt 5:16, Act 20:26-27, Mark 16:15.
