What does the Bible say about the fruits of righteousness?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible teaches that the fruits of righteousness are those evidences of our sanctification, produced by Jesus Christ, unto the glory of God.
The fruits of righteousness, according to Philippians 1:11, are described as the evidences and effects of sanctification in a believer's life. The Apostle Paul emphasizes that these fruits are not inherently produced by individuals but are a result of being filled with the fruits of righteousness through Jesus Christ. This means that any good or righteous act that manifests in a believer is truly sourced in Christ, affirming that believers can do nothing apart from Him (John 15:5). Thus, the fruits serve as a clear token of one's relationship with Christ, showcasing God’s transformative work in their lives.
