Spiritual Fruit

People can tell who and what we are by how we act. God wants us to grow and learn about Him. He wants us to produce spiritual fruit.

Galatians 5:22-23  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

But we can't produce the fruit on our own. God does it through us.

John 15:4  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

The branch can't say, "Look what I've done," because the vine (Christ) flows inside the core of the brench (born-again believers).

We are not robots. We have emotions and fears, and God has to work through that. Sometimes He has to prune sin from our lives.

The more we submit our life to Christ, the more fruit we bear.
