Fruitfulness is related to the Word of God. What are the properties of that Word? "The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." These are not abstract elements. What is said about the Word is said about the Lord Jesus - He is "a life-giving spirit". The Word is Christ mediated to the life. Fruitfulness is a matter of Christ as Spirit and Life finding increase in us through the Word, so that He becomes Spirit and Life to us, and through us to others. It is Christ living in us, expressing Himself through us. It is the increase of the living Christ.
