"May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation--the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ --for this will bring much glory and praise to God.” Philippians 1:11

As a child of God, you are indwelt by His Spirit.  His fruit of love joy and peace are being grown inside your very personality.  That is why you speak and act differently than before you gave your life to Jesus.  Your friends and family now get to see God in your life.

Each time you speak a kind word, or help out a friend who is in need people are seeing what God is like and will praise Him. By being submitted to His will and filled by His Spirit, your life will draw others to His love.  This is because as you learn to become more like Him each day they see Jesus in you.

Think of the preachers who lead gospel campaigns where thousands attend - ever wondered how the people decide to go?  Maybe, it is because they saw a little bit of God’s goodness in their friends, family and neighbours and wanted to learn more.
