Fruitfulness

By Methodist Recorder

FRUITFULNESS is an evidence of Christian vitality. When the seed of the kingdom has been sown in the heart, it will bring forth fruit in the life. The psalmist represents the good man as bringing forth fruit in his season. And Christ ordained that his disciples should bring forth fruit, and that their fruit should remain. The apostle Paul assures us that the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. Wherever these fruits are found, they afford evidence of the indwelling life and power of godliness in the soul, and they will manifest themselves by good works in the life. Where there is no Christian fruit, there is no Christian life.—Methodist Recorder.
