                                 FRUIT






             WHAT I LONG TO COMMUNICATE IN MY
                          MESSAGE ON FRUIT



           I want to show that the chief difference between works and
           fruit is the origin. Generally, works are the product of man;
           fruit is the product of God.  The only legitimate explanation
           for a Believer is God.  The Christian life is a miracle from
           start to finish.  The Christian life cannot depend upon the
           programs of man.  Personality, formal training, experience,
           and natural talents are not the essence of the Christian’s life.
           What He does through me is fruit.  Whatever is not a fruit of
           the  Spirit  is  worthless.    Without  abiding  in  Jesus  as  the
           branch abides in the vine, we can do nothing; that is, nothing
           that is called fruit.

        I’m sorry that I can’t speak or understand French.  But I did
