Being a fruitful Christian works from the inside out. Your fruit is the outward reflection of who you truly are on the inside. Jesus said by your fruits people will know who you are.

2 Pet. 1: 5–8
"For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Being a fruitful Christian works from the inside out. Your fruit is the outward reflection of who you truly are on the inside. Jesus said by your fruits people will know who you are.

Notice that it is not actions or activities, but qualities, that have the priority. God first transforms our inner being, which then results in our bearing good fruit outwardly. If we are not first inwardly made alive to God, our outward good deeds are mere hypocrisy. 

Good fruit is seen in a change in our disposition, attitudes, affections, character and actions. For example, those sins which we formerly loved become loathsome to us (Rom. 6:21). We begin to love others with the love of Christ (John 13: 34–35).
We find it easy to forgive (Eph. 4:32; Col. 3:13). As we are given opportunity, we seek to do good to everyone (Gal. 6:9–10). We exercise our spiritual gifts for the building up of the body of Christ (1 Cor. 12; Eph. 4:11–16).

Our fruits also manifest as we share the good news of salvation and make disciples (Matt. 28:18–20). We are grateful and give praise to God (Col. 3:15). We seek to do all things for God's glory, not self or vain glory (Col. 3:17). We confess our sins to God and pray for His continual work in us (1 John 1:9; Phil. 1:6). And we strive to know God and to do the things which please Him, knowing that we can bear no true fruit apart from Him (John 15:1–12). 

Being a fruitful Christian is not accomplished by checking off a "to do" list but by having our essential being and character changed, renewed, and progressively conformed to the image and likeness of Christ (Rom. 12 :2; 2 Cor. 3:18). To be fruitful means to follow Christ, to love what He loves and to do what He commands from a loving motive and with a joyful spirit.

This obedience is both predestined and empowered by God Himself which removes any grounds for boasting in how fruitful our lives or ministries become (Eph. 2:10). It is by God's grace and our abiding in Christ that we produce good fruit (John 15: 4–5).

The world is suffering; they are hungry for joy, peace, healing, salvation and so on. You have been saved and chosen to bear the fruits that will quench their hunger. You ate a true disciple and brings glory to God when you bear fruit, more fruit and much fruit (John 15: 2, 8).
Prayer/Reflection: Jesus, I am one of the fruits of your labour on earth. I receive grace to affect my world as I bear more fruit and bring glory to the Father.
