One thing to notice is that happiness comes through holiness to the godly man.  The fruit we bear gets better as we mature and learn to depend on God’s righteousness. We cannot boast in the fruit we bear, because we had no part in producing it.  We bear it as the Holy Spirit works through us to produce it. This is such a freeing thought.  Our efforts do not produce fruit, we have to quiet our busyness and allow the Holy Spirit to control us.  This is not to say we become idle, but we follow the Holy Spirit’s leading.

Philippians 1:9-11

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

James 3:17-18

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Colossians 1:3-12

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

John 15:5

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hebrews 12:11

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is no doubt that if the fruit we bear is in small amounts, those fruits do not satisfy anyone. We cannot bear any fruit apart from Christ, but we are all chosen to bear fruit.  The fruit of righteousness abounding in us demonstrates that God is working in us.  The power of God is shown through the grace of God in the hearts of believers.

Discipline yields the fruit of righteousness and is for our spiritual good. The fruit of righteousness is an outgrowth of righteousness of the heart produced by Christ.  It is external evidence of what is produced by the Holy Spirit

All fruit comes from the grafting into the Vine at the moment of salvation.  The best fruit is nourished and watered.

Fruit never comes first.  The fruit of righteousness is the result of a close relationship and walk with Jesus. Again, Andrew Murray said that the one condition of my abiding and growing is that I bear the fruit of the Heavenly Vine for dying men to eat and live.

Bearing Fruit Introduction

 Preface To understand the study more deeply and to be able to apply the precepts more personally to your own lives, it is important for me to define some key concepts and terms. First of all, you are already saints (1 Peter 2:9), heirs to eternal life (Galatians 3:29; Ephesians 3:6), chosen (1 Thessalonians 1:4-5a). This means that we are talking about your sanctification as you grow more and more like Christ, rather than your justification in which you placed your faith in Christ as the means of your salvation. At no time in this study will we imply that your justification can be taken from you (John 10:28). In the last study we learned so many things about the Holy Spirit and how He works within us and the depth of His love for us. This study goes one step further—it takes us into a specific metaphor of vines, trees, and gardening. The purpose of this study is to aid in your growth in Christian maturity. When we were new Christians, we were like babies who were fed milk—a very b...
