MINISTUDY: How You Can Bear the Fruit of the Spirit - Richard H Sedliacik - May 1979

Richard H Sedliacik

The Bible clearly tells us that the presence of God's Spirit in one's mind, or the lack thereof, is the sole factor that determines whether or not an individual is really a Christian (Rom. 8:9). Therefore, it is imperative that we understand just how the Holy Spirit is manifested in a Christian's life. Did Jesus Christ clearly indicate that a person is known by his "fruits," or works? Matt. 7:20. In what way did He characterize Himself, His Father and their followers? John 15: 1-8. Does God expect Christians to bear only a little fruit? Verses 5, 8. This is the reason Christ calls and chooses His disciples - to bear fruit! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
