Bear fruit for God

You were put to death in relation to the law through the crucified body of the Messiah, so that you may belong to another – to him who was raised from the dead – that we may bear fruit for God. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions operated through the law in every part of us and bore fruit for death. But now we have been released from the law, since we have died to what held us, so that we may serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old letter of the law. 1

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, self-control. 2 The fruit of the light results in all goodness, righteousness, and truth. 3

Produce fruit consistent with repentance. 4 Walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him, bearing fruit in every good work, 5 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God. 6

For we are His creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time so that we should walk in them. 7 

Now the One who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness. 8 May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful. 9
