*THEME: YOU SHOULD BE FRUITFUL*

_"For if he's things be In you and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ" 2 Peter 1 : 8*

Nothing is a better indicator of true salvation than fruitfulness. It was what Christ used to distinguish between the true and false believer. (Matthew 7 : 15-20)

The reasonable question that ought to arise next is what is fruit? The new testament says it encompasses many righteous activities. Paul says winning souls a to Christ is fruit. (Roman 1 : 13). The apostle call the house of Stephanas "the first fruit of Achaia" (1 Corinthians 16 : 15). In Phillipians 4 : 17 Paul money given in the support of ministry as fruit.

The writer of Hebrews says praise is the fruit of our lips ( Hebrews 13: 15). The act of praying is also a spiritual fruit. Behind every one of those righteous actions is the right attitude, because "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control" (Galatians 5 : 22-23). In Matthew 13 :22,the person with a weedy heart is said to be unfruitful

When you don't live a fruitful life, your salvation is questionable.
