LEARN TO BE A TREE: In Matthew 7 it says you will know a tree by its fruit. The fruit only tells you what kind of tree you are dealing with. The focus is the tree.
We tend to focus on the fruit. If I can just produce righteousness, I'll be righteous. But that's not what that passage in Matthew is saying. the fruit doesn't make the tree. It's the tree that makes the fruit. The secret is producing fruit is to be a tree.
Good works don't produce good people. Good people produce good works. Christian work don't produce Christians, Christians produce Christian works.
Stay in Christ and become what He made you to be. And if you have the heart of Jesus, the heart of love, the Spirit of God, your life will be filled abundantly and the overflow will produce the fruits of the Spirit.
"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me (John 15:4).
