Being "fruitful" means many things to many people.
But most of our definitions fall short of biblical fruitfulness, which has to do not with activity, but with being.
In the Fruit of the Spirit, Stuart Briscoe helps us examine and meditate on the qualities of character listed in Galatians 5:22-23.
The fruit of the spirit is not merely a collection of gifts or traits from which we can pick and choose.
Rather, it is a description of Christian behaviour as it is meant to be. These traits develop as we cooperate with the Holy Spirit and respond in obedience and trust.
Cultivating Christian character is not only possible in this life, but natural to people who allow Jesus to live in and through them.
