BECOMING A FRUITFUL PEOPLE OF GOD
Foreword
This material was delayed for some time before the author finally decided to publish on the website and have it printed. Why was it delayed? Was it because the writer was not convinced about the contents, or he has not gained a complete understanding of the topic yet? No. The writer was fortunate to be given the understanding within but a short time. If so, why the delay? Since at the time the writer got a clear understanding of the topic, he realized that he still had many shortcomings about the subject. The writer had struggled about this issue until finally he decided to continue finishing it. He realized that it was absolutely most important to become a fruitful child of God. The writer hopes that this article he wrote would not only become a blessing to the readers, but also could motivate himself to live it. Finally, all praise to the almighty and merciful God, who through His grace grants all of us the opportunity to be able to understand this most important topic about how we could become God’s fruitful people, so that we as children of God would not be cut off and thrown into the fire of hell.
Soli Deo Gloria,

BECOMING A FRUITFUL PEOPLE OF GOD
CHILDREN OF GOD SHOULD BEAR FRUIT
The concept of ‘fruit-bearing’ in the New Testament is very important to comprehend by Christ’s followers. Namely, the purpose is to make clear the spiritual life of the believers as written in the Gospel of John 15:2 which states that “Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.” The Lord Jesus said that every branch that bears no fruit will be cut off and thrown away. It means that to bear fruit is obligatory for every child of God. And here to bear fruit means to bear the fruit of the Spirit, which in Galatians 5:22-23 is described as follows, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” For more details please read the writer’s book entitled “Fruit of the Spirit”
