What does the Bible say about the fruit of salvation?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that the fruit of salvation is a result of the new birth, which is initiated by God.
In Ruth 4:13, we see that the Lord gave Ruth conception, symbolizing the fruitfulness that derives from divine intervention. This principle is echoed in Hosea 14:8, which states, 'from me is thy fruit found.' The new birth results in believers receiving a new nature that is capable of producing spiritual fruit, as affirmed in Galatians 5:22-23, where the fruits of the Spirit, including love and joy, are mentioned. Therefore, the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life is essential for a fruitful existence, signifying that all growth and fruitfulness come from God and not human effort. Such fruit serves as evidence of the Spirit's work in one's life and brings glory to God.
