Bible Verse of The Day – 6-27-24

Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

How beautiful is the fruit of the Lord! Amen.

We can bear such fruit if we allow His Spirit to guide us through even the smallest tasks.

Now, this may mean we will have to be disciplined enough to listen, to pull back or move forward at times when our flesh wants to say, “maybe later, I’m not ready right now”.

Such fruit is the defining characteristic of God’s presence among His people. And it should be a defining characteristic of God’s people themselves.

It’s impossible to always carry out such fruit on our own.

We could go to bed feeling fine one moment and then wake up in a mood the next day.

We have to admit that our flesh is so very fickle.

It takes His Spirit, who moves upon our hearts, to bring us to a place where we desire to do His will, choosing Him over how we feel in that moment.

As we grow in our relationship with Him, we don’t choose to react to a situation with our own intellectual understanding. We see the importance in seeking His reaction.

This is what produces God-given fruit every time. We must lean on the Holy Spirit to guide us in going the extra mile and enjoy the fruit of walking in His Spirit!

Matthew 5:41 (NKJV) 41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.

Bearing Fruit
Leave a comment

John 15:5 (NKJV) 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

While some may view this scripture as a warning from Jesus, it is more than that.

Yes, it is a warning, reminding us that without Him we can do nothing.

But it’s also a promise, reinforcing the fact that if we abide in Him, we will bear much fruit.

Abiding in Him is, in fact, the foundation of bearing fruit. He is the source of that fruit. Therefore, if we do not abide in Him, there is no fruit that we can bear.

Jesus takes it further, drawing on the analogy of Him being the vine, and us being the branches.

Most people in His day were very familiar with farming, and especially the growing and cultivating of grapes. So, they easily understood His sayings and teachings about vines, branches and fruit.

In light of this, we can view it like this. Jesus, being the vine that we (branches) are attached to, provides whatever we need for nutrition and sustenance that allows us to grow strong. We draw everything we need from Him.

And because we draw from Him, we can become strong, allowing us to bear fruit.

But Jesus doesn’t just say that we will bear fruit. He says that as we abide in Him, we will bear much fruit!

Let’s be sure to abide in Him, allowing us to bear much fruit for the kingdom of God.
