By Their Fruit You Will Know

Lately, I’ve become more acutely aware of this fact of nature.

Over the next few installments, I’d like to look at fruit…of people…of businesses…of political movements…in principles, and in ideologies. 

“By their fruit you will recognize them.” What kind of fruit do you and I produce?

When the Holy Spirit is actively producing fruit, the Apostle Paul states what it looks like.  “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23). 

Do hating, violently protesting, vandalizing, or getting into expletive-filled arguments fit with Paul’s profile of the Spirit-filled fruit of any Christian’s life?

Should there be a “balance” of these two lifestyles … or should it be more of an “all in” or choose your side profile? (See James 3:10-18)
