Who you are in Christ.#10

I am chosen by Jesus to bear fruit!

John 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

So what is the fruit we should bear?

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

All these are traits of Jesus. So as a follower of Jesus, we should have or be developing the same traits. The book ends of the traits, love and self-control, are key to the other traits. For if you can love like Jesus and exercise self control all the others are doable!

So if you are in Christ, you are chosen to bear fruit! Are you?
