What does it mean that Christ bears fruit in His people?

Answered in 1 source

Christ bears fruit through His people by working in them to produce good works that glorify God.

The concept of Christ bearing fruit in His people can be understood through John 15:5, where Jesus says, 'I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.' This signifies that all spiritual fruitfulness flows from a vital connection with Christ. Through the Holy Spirit, believers are empowered to produce qualities such as love, joy, peace, and patience, which reflect the character of Christ. Additionally, as seen in Colossians 1:10, we are called to be fruitful in every good work, indicating that the evidence of our faith manifests in our actions and our devotion to God's purpose.
