BEARING FRUIT 3

Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth FRUIT, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

TO BEAR FRUIT WE MUST WALK IN THE SPIRIT

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

When Paul was writing to the Church at Corinth he stressed the importance of love. He more or less said that without love we are just a bunch of religious noise makers. Love is the catalyst that helps the Spirit produce fruit in us:

Joy is love's strength.
Peace is love's security.
Long-suffering is love's patience.
Gentleness is love's conduct.
Goodness is love's character.
Faith is love's confidence.
Meekness is love's humility.
Temperance is love's victory.
"Against such there is no law."

When we are spirit controlled we will win others to Christ. Let's go bear fruit for our Lord.
