Think about apple trees. Why is it that they produce apples? Is it because they’ll feel guilty if they don’t? Is it because they will be in some sort of trouble if they don’t produce enough fruit? That’s foolish! Apple trees produce apples because that’s just what apple trees do. It’s natural.
Christians produce good works, not because they’ll feel guilty if they don’t, and not because they’re afraid that otherwise they’ll get in trouble with God. Christians produce God works because Christ gave them the power to do so. It’s what they naturally do!
That life of a Christian that bears fruit is what we want to think about this morning as we consider the words of encouragement through the apostle Paul that he shared in Colossians 1. But it’s so much more than that – it didn’t take place only in Colosse nearly 2000 years ago. It takes place in Green Bay, WI, and all across the world. “All Over the World…The Gospel Bears Fruit.”24 episodes
