This book discusses the indispensability of the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer in Jesus Christ. The author, Robert A. Haggard, beseeches the reader to seek the Person of Jesus Christ -- to know and love Him -- and to expect the fruit of His Spirit that glorifies God the Father as a byproduct of that close relationship. The author’s main purposes in this book are: 1) That it would glorify God; 2) That it would edify its readers; and 3) That it would inject life into its readers.

Why are so many Christians stagnant in their faith? Why do we often live as though the gospel stops at the moment of conversion? The good news of Jesus doesn’t stop the moment we get saved. In fact, salvation is only the beginning of God’s work in our lives. We often view salvation as the ending point; it’s really the beginning point. The gospel of Jesus doesn’t only justify us; it sanctifies us. When we receive the Holy Spirit at salvation, an incredible work begins to happen in us: we begin to bear fruit. When we are firmly planted in the gospel and committed to growing in Christ, He produces in us the fruits of the Spirit, the marks of a true Christian. In Bearing Fruit, Robby Gallaty walks us through the life of the Christian. Biblical, intentional, and practical, Bearing Fruit points our hearts to the gracious God who called us, justified us, and is now sanctifying us by the work of his Holy Spirit.

Bearing Fruit: The Abundant Life God Provides, is a book that explains, with scripture, insights into the meaning of Jesus' words in John 15 when he says, "Herein is my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples." This book talks of the meaning behind Hosea 14:2, which talks of how we are to take with us words, and turn to the Lord, and say unto Him, take away all iniquity... receive us graciously... that we may offer the sacrifice of our lips. This book explains that the sacrifice of our lips is to give thanks unto the name of God... Abba Father, Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit. Bearing Fruit explains ways we are to order our conversations correctly, in order to be virtuous, moral, and strong men and women of God. From the lips, to the tongue, to the ears, to the body in full, we are to glorify God by being a living human, fully willing and desirous to be partakers of God's divine nature and His divine purpose of sharing in the glory of God, and reconciling people unto the Father, through the Son Jesus Christ, within the inspiration, power and grace of Holy Spirit. This abundant life God provides is what solidly and wholly satisfies our being. This abundant life in Him allows us the grace to live a life comprised of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. To be filled with the Spirit, abiding in Him and living the abundant life, is all manifested from Bearing Fruit to the glory of God,which is fulfilling the purpose we were created for!

“Being sensible that I am unable to do any thing without God’s help, I do humbly entreat him, by his grace, to enable me to keep these Resolutions, so far as they are agreeable to his will, for Christ’s sake. Remember to read over these Resolutions once a week. 1. Resolved, That I will do whatsoever I think to be most to the glory of God, and my own good, profit, and pleasure, in the whole of my duration; without any consideration of the time, whether now, or never so many myriads of ages hence. Resolved, to do whatever I think to be my duty, and most for the good and advantage of mankind in general. Resolved, so to do, whatever difficulties I meet with, how many soever, and how great soever. 2. Resolved, To be continually endeavouring to find out some new contrivance and invention to promote the forementioned things. 3. Resolved, If ever I shall fall and grow dull, so as to neglect to keep any part of these Resolutions, to repent of all I can remember, when I come to myself again. 4. Resolved, Never to do any manner of thing, whether in soul or body, less or more, but what tends to the glory of God, nor be, nor suffer it, if I can possibly avoid it. 5. Resolved, Never to lose one moment of time, but to improve it in the most profitable way I possibly can. 6. Resolved, To live with all my might, while I do live....

It all started in a garden... From the garden of Eden to the garden of Gethsemane, to our eternal home in the garden of the Father, the garden has been a symbol or representation of our journey in this life. Throughout Scripture, we are encouraged to take root in God, to love Him with all of our heart, all of our soul, all of our mind, and all of our strength, and to anchor our souls in Him and in His word. Over and over in the Bible, we are also instructed to bear fruit. Bearing fruit or spreading the good news of the kingdom is a natural outcome of a heart that is wholly His. When we are rooted, sure and steadfast in God, we will impact the lives of those around us for Him; it is inevitable. We bear fruit when we are firmly rooted to the Lord. In this book, Mrs. Owen uses the analogy of a garden to beautifully illustrate this correlation between taking root and bearing fruit. There are many different players and contributors in the garden, each one with their own job to do: pollinators, sunlight, water, gardening tools, and more. Mrs. Owen shares with us how, just as in the garden, each person in the family of God has their own unique purpose. When we all work together, we become a fruitful and abundant garden firmly rooted in God and bearing fruit for His kingdom. “The surviving remnant of the house of Judah will again take root downward and bear fruit upward. For out of Jerusalem will go forth a remnant, and out of Mount Zion survivors. The zeal of the Lord will perform this” (2 Kings 19:30). This verse from 2 Kings can be understood literally as well as figuratively. Yes, God’s people would once again plant and harvest the land, but they would also once again be rooted in God’s hand, bearing fruit for Him. The goal of this book is to help us all become more firmly rooted in God and active in bearing fruit for Him, not from compulsion but from the joy of knowing our God.
