Bearing Fruit

Did you know that God wants you to bear the fruit of his life? Things like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. But how? How can we bear this fruit? Jesus answered it this way. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from you can do nothing. Bearing fruit is the result of living in Christ, and Christ living in us. Here is the good news. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in Him, and he in God. So if you have believed in the name of Jesus, you abide in Christ, and he abides in you. And you will bear much fruit.
