What does the Bible say about fruitfulness in Christianity?

Scripture points to the danger of unfruitfulness in the lives of professing Christians, as illustrated by the withered fig tree in Mark 11:12-21. Jesus cursed the fig tree for being barren, symbolizing how He expects His followers to produce spiritual fruit. This message is directed not only at the Jewish Church of His time but also resonates with all Christians today. An empty profession of faith, devoid of a transformed life and good works, serves only to bring condemnation rather than salvation. True faith manifests in acts of repentance and holiness, as discussed in Ephesians 2:10 where we are told we are created in Christ Jesus for good works.
