The Fruits of Our Life

W hen the Lord starts to work in our hearts, it becomes evident to others. We must be very clear here that people often do not clearly notice this fruit in their own lives. The more God works in our heart the more we are aware of our sinfulness and can often question fruit in our own life.

This was also the case with the Roman centurion. The people saw the fruit of God’s work in his life and said that the centurion was worthy of God’s grace. It would not hurt us to ask ourselves: what impression do we give to other people. If the fruits of God’s dealings in our life are to be noticed, they must first be present. If they do not exist, they will not show. Only a proper root will yield fruit. Certainly, we see that the gospel is not according to man; we are not dependent on the opinions people have about us. Nevertheless, people’s opinions of us are something we cannot avoid. The people testified that the centurion was worthy. This was a beautiful testimony he demonstrated to the people of his day. In like manner, God’s people make an impression upon their surroundings. What impression do you make on those around you?
