And they gather them

And throw them

Into the fire,

And they are burned."John 15:5-6

And then

For added emphasis

He added,

"By this

My Father is glorified,

That you bear much fruit;

So you will be

My disciples."John 15:8

"That you bear much fruit."

It still resounds today!

But how can we be

More productive vines

Or fruitful trees

From day to day?

For in the Sermon on the Mount

The Savior also spoke

Of bearing fruit this way,

Saying,

"Even so,

Every good tree

Bears good fruit,

But a bad tree

Bears bad fruit.

A good tree

Cannot bear bad fruit,

Nor can a bad tree

Bear good fruit.

Every tree

That does not bear

Good fruit

Is cut down

And thrown into the fire.

Therefore

By their fruits

You will know them."Matthew 7:17-20

The good fruit,

Is the Fruit of the Spirit

Of course.Galatians 5:22-23

But does the Word of God

Enumerate the bad?

"Now the works

Of the flesh

Are evident,

Which are:

Adultery,

Fornication,

Uncleanness,

Lewdness,

Idolatry,

Sorcery,
