The Fruit of the Recreated Spirit

The Fruit-Bearing Branches – Part 1

The fruit that is produced in the life of a man who is a New Creation grows out of his vital connection with the Vine. The recreated spirit that has received the life and the nature of God has the ability to produce the same type of results that Jesus had He was on the earth. The New Creation man is to bear the fruit of the Vine.

The fruit-bearing part of the Vine is the branches. Jesus said in John 15:5 that we are the branches and He is the Vine. And that if we , the branches abide n Him-that is we are vitally connected to Him, sharing the life and ability and nature that flows in the Vine, then we bear much fruit.

We are the fruit-bearing part of the Vine. The Vine itself does not bear fruit even though the nourishment, the nutrients and the life that the branches need to bear fruit flows from the Vine. Jesus is the Vine and the Vine does not bear fruit. It is the branches that bear the fruit. With the enablement from the Holy Spirit, we the branches of the Vine, bear the fruit.

Galatians 5:22 gives us the fruit that grows in our life because of the Christ-life within us. The church has taught the do’s and the don’ts of a holy living when it should have taught the Power of the Christ-life or the Vine-life that flow through the believer because of the nature and the ability of God. This means that the fruit of the spirit does not grow because of our effort but because of the Life of God that flows through us by the Holy Spirit. We overcome sin, walk in love, develop joy and patience simply by spending more time in the Presense of the Lord.
