"And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands and grasps it; he indeed bears fruit and yields, some a hundred times [as much as was sown], some sixty, and some thirty"
Matthew 13:23 AMP
Grasps it.
When we really get it.
Our roots are deep in the word, & the weeds that would choke us off are at least held in check...then there's fruit.
2 things:
The amount of fruit is different for different people. We don't have to look the same as anyone else
And the fruit is not described.
So I'm going to guess it's the Fruit of Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness & Self-control
That's the outcome, the fruit, the harvest...not a scorecard of souls won, church's planted, people helped this week...not performance...but our heart & how God is gently transforming us on the inside...
