The Holy Bible, the Word of God has many references to how we are to bear good fruit once we are saved. It doesn't have to be a mystery to us on whether or not we are bearing good fruit. All we have to do is look at the scripture and then look at our life and measure our life to the scripture. When we do this it is like putting a spiritual mirror in front of us. We are spiritually looking in a mirror and saying I like what I see and I bear the image of a Holy life through Christ or we look in that spiritual mirror and see that we have some blemishes that need to be brought to God and worked on so that when others see us they see only His (Jesus) image. Here are just a few scriptures to look at to help us see our own image more clearly!
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
-Galatians 5: 16-25
Amen!
