As Christians, we know our lives should be different from the way that we were and different from the world. We know we are to be Christlike, and yet we might wonder, “I am still the same me, in the same body, with the same thoughts, wants, and flaws. How can I be genuinely Christlike? WHAT am I to DO?”

What if the most important part of Christian living is not “what,” but “how,” and the answer is to study the letters to the church and believe them?  

The Christian life is a life of faith. The Christian who “ceases from his own works as God did from His,” and looks to the word of God with faith WILL please God, WILL see change, WILL experience peace, joy, patience, self-control, and much more: he will produce the fruit of the Spirit.  Bearing Fruit or Living Barren explains how.

Spiritual fruit is spiritual. It is not measured by tasks completed, prayers spoken or services attended. Bearing Fruit or Living Barren details the mindset and characteristics of the “spiritual man,” the Christian who is productive and pleasing because he is Spirit-filled. He can bear much fruit, benefit the body of Christ, and bring God glory because he allows God to work in him; in regard to Christian living, God does everything for the believer except open the Bible.
