Fruitfulness is what God requires from the beginning of our Christian life. As soon as he calls us to faith in his Son, he calls us to repentance and the fruit it produces. While repentance is not once for all, since the Christian life calls for daily repentance and turning from sin, it is one of the initial fruits of new birth and conversion.

Spiritual life is living by the Spirit, depending upon him and obeying him as he points us to the Lord Jesus Christ and encourages us to model our lives on his. As we do so, we will bear the kind of spiritual fruit that brings praise and pleasure to God.

Derek Prime helpfully deals with the fruit of the Spirit in a practical way, and includes a section of questions to stimulate further discussion or for use in Bible study groups.
