What does it mean to bear fruit worthy of repentance?

Answered in 1 source

Bearing fruit worthy of repentance means exhibiting the transformation that comes from genuine faith.

In the sermon, the call to bring forth fruits worthy of repentance (Luke 3:8) indicates the evidence of a true change in heart and life. True repentance results in a love for Christ and a desire to live according to His will, demonstrating that we are transformed by His grace. The Reformed perspective emphasizes that these fruits are not generated by our own strength but are the work of the Holy Spirit in us, allowing us to reflect the righteousness of Christ. It serves as a testimony of our faith and relationship with God, showing that we are indeed His children.
