Your fruit is found in Me” (Hosea 14:9)

If you’re saved, you bear Christ’s fruit. “As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me” (John 15:4).

Christ saved you to bear fruit. “I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain” (John 15:16).

Saints glorify the Father by bearing fruit. “By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples” (John 15:8).

The Father prunes saints to bear more fruit.  “Every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit” (John 15:2).

The fruit is from the indwelling Holy Spirit. “Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control” (Galatians 5:22-23).

You are the temple of the Holy Spirit. “He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him ... do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's” (1 Corinthians 6:17-20).

Knowing all this, “walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light” (Colossians 1:10-12).
