When believers walk in truth and love, when they adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour with generous, gracious, and exemplary lives and behavior, they glorify God (Matt. 5:16). The fruits of righteousness by the indwelling Spirit of Christ, as displayed by a believer, not only glorify the power, grace, and mercy of God in them, but cause others to glorify God too. “So shall ye be my disciples.”
Our fruitfulness does not make us disciples of Christ, but it is the proof and evidence that we are his disciples. Good fruit does not make a tree good. The tree is first good. The fruit is the evidence that the tree is good.
