Many people simply dispute even the possibility of a God-Who-Judges. What happens if Jesus were to return at 8:36 a.m. ? The point? If we could put that information on CNN or Headline News, Etc. what would be the world's response?
And while we do not know when He will return - we do know that He will. So now what?
Well - this knowledge is supposed to produce "fruit" in our individual lives. Fruit - is the the effect of something - i.e. a seed has the effect of what it produces.
The Eternal God's point of contact with the world is the Eternal Soul of Mankind.
The words of Jesus are the seed - what it produces is the fruit. Jesus Himself promised His own return - now what? What are you going to do about it? Does this make any difference in your life? - the difference is the "fruit". Jesus said there were going to be different amounts of fruit this knowledge will produce in people's lives - as well as - those who seed fails to bring forth fruit.
Types of Seed Actions i.e. Fruit-Bearing
No Fruit Types
1. Those who receive the word - but very quickly - it is stolen by Satan. Result: No Fruit.
2. Those who receive the seed - and abide in the meaning of the seed for a little while and then fail. Result: No Fruit.
3. Those who receive the seed - and then the distractions of what is not related to the seed growing cause the fruit to fail. Result: No Fruit.
Fruit Bearing Types
1. Those who receive the word - and it is able to grow and bear fruit - 30 times as much as it was sown.
2. Those who receive the seed (the seed is the word) - and it is able to grow and bear fruit - as much as 60 times as much as was sown.
3. Those who receive the seed - and it is able to grow and bear fruit - as much as 90 times as much as was originally sown.
Which one are you?
Now, The Fruit of the Holy Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, and Temperance. Galatians 5:21,22.
Do you have God's Holy Spirit ? This is the evidence of your salvation - of your Fruit-bearing seed, the word of God, the words of Christ.
