Top Highlights

“For spiritual fruit is the outcome of the life of unbroken and full communion with Christ. ‘If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit’ (John 15:5). Loss of communion is the explanation of most of our failure in spiritual fruit bearing, and no amount of Christian work, or even exercise of spiritual gifts, can ever be a substitute for walking with God.” (Pages 6–7)

“This simple story illustrates what many try to do with the fruit of the Spirit. They never fulfill the conditions for growing such fruit. Then they try to make up for it by seeking an artificial method of production. But we can always see the ‘string’!” (Page 7)

“The fruit of the Spirit is the direct result of the life of Christ ministered to the believer by the Spirit: ‘the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ’” (Page 6)

“Works’ speak of the smoggy city, noisy machinery, and feverish activity—something that we do. ‘Fruit’ speaks of the open countryside, the quiet of the garden, and the silent but life-giving forces of nature—something coming from the life that God gives.” (Page 6)

“Sometimes His power works more irresistibly in the silent influences of love, joy, and peace, than in the mightier manifestations of miracles or prophesying.” (Page 9)
