Ezekiel 15:5
5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no
work: how much less shall it be meet yet for any
work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is
burned?
Ezekiel 15 records God's word concerning a people whose waywardness and rebellion made them useless to Him. God likened the people to the useless wood of grapevines and told the prophet that those useless vines would be cast away and devoured by fire. The idea of Christians bearing good fruit is an important theme in the New Testament as well. Jesus taught that we could know people who faithfully follow Him by the "good fruit" their lives produce.
Later, the apostle Paul wrote that the key to producing good fruit is living under the influence of God's Holy Spirit...
Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
God wants each of us, His beloved, to bear fruit, the kind of fruit that both glorifies Him and influences those around us. We do that when we allow Him to fill us, when we learn to obey Christ's commands...
John 15:4
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot
bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine;
no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Without Jesus living in us through the Holy Spirit, there's no way we can bear the kind of fruit God wants to see in us. With Jesus there is nothing we can't do.

We are and remain such creeping Christians, because we look at ourselves and not at Christ; because we gaze at the marks of our own soiled feet, and the trail of our own defiled garments.... @dethlyhorror

I try to do other people's homework and they tell me that they can not and I try to follow people and they do not allow me either. why will it be?

I don't get to read your blog as often as I'd like, but wanted to acknowledge the good work you are doing. Sometimes it is nice to see the "mirror" come out in the messages I receive. Validation is a big part of the Higher Spirit at work.

Great post. I will say we've got to cooperate with the Holy Spirit too in order to bear fruits. In our family devotion today, we read from Roman chapter 6. The apostle Paul through the Holy Spirit was emphasizing the need for Christians to reckon themselves dead to sin. He said we should not yield part of our body as instrument to sin. He laid the responsibility on the believer. My point is, we've got to cooperate with the Holy Spirit to bear fruit as Christians. Nice post.
