In this blog, I wanted to share the passage/quote below which is from, "A Secret to a Fruitful Life! (from the United States Naval Academy - usna.edu). I was blessed & encouraged by it.

“Were called to bear the fruit of Christian character...


First, God wants us to bear the fruit of Christian character. Galatians 5:22-23 describes the fruit produced in us by the [Holy] Spirit Christ gives us. It is the fruit of Christian character.


Galatians 5:22-23 says, “…the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” (ESV). These are the qualities of Christian or Christlike character.


We’re [also] called to bear the fruit of Christian conduct.


Colossians 1:10-11 says we are supposed to “…lead lives worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him as (we) bear fruit in every good work.


You see, Christian character produces Christian conduct. If we have the Spirit of Christ living in us, [the Holy Spirit] then he’ll produce Christlike conduct through us.


In addition to Christian character and Christian conduct, we should bear the fruit of Christian converts [cause others to change/to come to Christ/to become a Christian].


People should convert to the Christian faith in part because of the character and conduct they see in us. [We should be walking Epistles].


Yes, Christian converts [soul-winners] are like fruit harvested for God… according to Jesus, God wants us to bear fruit. And the fruit He wants is the fruit of Christian character, Christian conduct, and Christian converts”

 

“An effective soul-winner presents a Christlike example.” – David Briscoe

 

Be Christlike. And be a soul-winner.


Be encouraged! God loves you.


I pray that you have an encounter with God that changes your life.


Love and Peace,

Yolanda Billingslea (Ms. B)
