Jesus expects us to be fruitful.
His patience for the fruit in us, his trees is limited.
We are known by our fruit inward character.
If we are righteous, we shall yield good fruits.
If we are corrupt, we shall produce evil.
The old sinful nature loves to do evil
When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, your
lives will produce evil results, evil fruits:
When the Holy Spirit controls our lives,
he will produce good fruit in us:
The fruit of the Spirit is a cluster which
grows and appears at their appointed time.
It is only after:
The sun has shined,
The rain has fallen,
The weeds have been pulled.
That the fruit becomes evident and can then be recognized as such.
John 15
The Vine and The Branch
We must be connected to Jesus the tree and
allow the father to purge us with his word
from the lust of the flesh, and the lust of
the eyes, and the pride of life, "the world."
We must die, forsake all
Our life must die, we must forsake all for Jesus,
because of our love for him, continuing in his
love by keeping his teachings.
Love is the basis motive for all that God does.
We as believers are to have the Fruit of the Spirit singular,
which is all parts of the fruit, love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, and self-control.
