WHAT  ARE  YOU  SOWING  

GALATIANS 6:7   ---BE  NOT  DECEIVED--- GOD  is not mocked for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap

--6:8-- for he that soweth to his flesh ---SHALL  OF  THE  FLESH  REAP  CORRUPTION--- but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlasting 

JOHN 6:63  IT  IS  THE  SPIRIT  THAT  QUICKENETH  THE  FLESH  --PROFITETH  NOTHING--  THE  WORDS  THAT  --I  SPEAK--  UNTO  YOU  THEY  ARE  SPIRIT  AND  THEY  ARE  LIFE 

 

EPHESIANS  5:9  THE  FRUIT  OF  THE  SPIRIT  IS  IN  ALL  GOODNESS  AND  RIGHTEOUSNESS  AND  TRUTH 

 

NEHEMIAH 9:35  for they have not served thee in their kingdom and in thy ---GREAT  GOODNESS--- THAT  THOU  GAVEST  THEM --- and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them  --- NEITHER  TURNED  THEY  FROM  THEIR  WICKED  WAYS 

PSALM 33:4  FOR  THE  WORD  OF  THE  LORD  IS  RIGHT  AND  ALL  HIS  WORKS  ARE  DONE  IN  TRUTH

--33:5-- HE  LOVETH  RIGHTEOUSNESS  AND  JUDGEMENT  THE  EARTH  IS  FULL  OF  THE  GOODNESS  OF  THE  LORD 

PROVERBS 8:7  FOR  MY  MOUTH  SHALL  SPEAK  TRUTH  AND  WICKEDNESS  IS  AN  ---ABOMINATION  TO  MY  LIPS--

--8:8-- ALL  THE  WORDS  OF  --MY  MOUTH--  ARE  IN  RIGHTEOUSNESS  THERE  IS  --NOTHING--  FROWARD  OR  PERVERSE  IN  THEM

 

ACTS 1:1  the former treatise have I made o theophilus of all that  JESUS  began both to do and teach

--1:2-- until the day in which  HE  was taken up after that  HE  through the holy spirit had given commandments unto the apostles whom  HE  had  chosen

 

JOHN 12:49  FOR  I  HAVE  NOT  SPOKEN  OF  MYSELF  ---BUT  THE  FATHER  WHICH  SENT  ME--- HE  GAVE  ME  A  COMMANDMENT  WHAT  I  SHOULD  SAY  AND  WHAT  I  SHOULD  SPEAK 

--12:50-- AND  I  KNOW  THAT  HIS  COMMANDMENT  IS  ---LIFE  EVERLASTING--- WHATSOEVER  I  SPEAK  THEREFORE  EVEN  AS  ---THE  FATHER  SAID  UNTO  ME  SO  I  SPEAK---

 

1 PETER 1:23  BEING  BORN  AGAIN  NOT  OF  CORRUPTIBLE  SEED  BUT  OF  INCORRUPTIBLE  ---BY  THE  WORD  OF  GOD--- WHICH  LIVETH  AND  ABIDETH  FOREVER 

 

JEREMIAH 9:5  AND  THEY  WILL  DECEIVE  EVERYONE  HIS  NEIGHBOR  ---AND  WILL  NOT  SPEAK  THE  TRUTH---  THEY  HAVE  TAUGHT  THEIR  TONGUE  TO  SPEAK  LIES  AND  WEARY  THEMSELVES  TO  COMMIT  INIQUITY

EPHESIANS 5:6  LET   --NO  MAN  DECEIVE  YOU--  WITH  VAIN  WORDS  FOR  BECAUSE  OF  THESE  THINGS  COMETH  THE  WRATH  OF  GOD  UPON  THE  CHILDREN  OF  DISOBEDIENCE

Now that is one wild [WAVE] riding the flow of those Verses.  Not much [Fruit] being exemplified but definitely much [Warning].   In some sense, those Verses don't even connect unless the point You're making is a Warning itself.

[Marathoner]

Don't regret this topic, @Aries2020. You've done nothing wrong. 

Analogies abound in scripture: references to metallurgy; references to orchards, vineyards, and fields of grain; a reference regarding sheep and goats; a reference to a lord rewarding servants who were faithful with little; not an exhaustive list by any means. The Lord used analogies when He spoke parables to the multitudes but afterward, Christ revealed the meaning of His parables to the disciples.

The analogy of fruit can be witnessed in the Lord's words, 

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them." (Matthew 7:15-20 NKJV)

I've had hands-on experience with the subject matter of a few of those analogies, shepherding livestock, blacksmithing (I assisted a blacksmith at the forge for a time), and growing crops being three. I've dealt with goats. Trouble on the hoof just waiting to happen.  

By comparison, sheep are easier to deal with and move about from here to there, but there's always at least one prone to wandering away and becoming lost. Hence "lost sheep."

The forge needs to be hot... very hot!... and so the majority of my labor was devoted to keeping the fire and fanning the flames. This permitted the blacksmith to focus upon his art.

We are likened to trees and sometimes vines in our Father's vineyard. The Father's Son, whom He sends in His stead, is the Vinedresser; vine dressing requires patience in order to see an abundant yield. We learn that our Father's Son is faithful and true --- He will produce an abundant yield pleasing to our Father --- which aptly describes how the Spirit works upon those whom He dwells with. 

We will not only produce fruit, but we will yield it abundantly. Remember that fruit comes in its season at the appointed time. Much pruning has to take place in order to produce an abundant yield. Wild plant, small yield; pruned plant, abundant yield.

Eh, it was a side effect of being a transient and wandering for many years. After my baptism in water, I stayed with a fellowship in the countryside for four years. While I was there one of the elders took me under his wing; he was a carpenter, blacksmith, and farmer among other things. He taught me how to use all manner of tools both archaic and modern and I jumped at the chance to assist him at the forge. Hard work, but worth it. 

I've worked on computer networks, dug ditches, created official correspondence for a governmental agency, and framed houses. The woman who became my adopted mother was a green thumb and so I learned a great deal from her about growing things. It's all about the soil and the care you devote to what you grow.

Greetings,

The fruit of the Spirit are the characteristics qualities and nature of the Trinity.

·   love

·   Joy

·   Peace

·   Long

·   Kindness

·   Gentleness

·   Faithfulness

·   Meekness

·   Temperance

Why do you think these qualities are not fruits of the Spirit? 

·   Compassion

·   Consideration

·   Empathy

·   Forgiveness 

·   Grace

·   Humility

·   Modesty

·    Mercy

·    Submission

·    Sympathy

What do you think is the difference?

Some of these are indeed attributes of the Lord. They serve as examples for us. 

Compassion, for the Lord will not turn His face away from the afflicted (Psalm 22:24).

Forgiveness, for the Lord forgives the iniquity of thousands (Exodus 34:7).

Modesty (Matthew 11:29).

Mercy, for our Father in heaven sent His Son for our sake. Far too many scriptural references for God's mercy to list here.

WHAT  ARE  YOU  SOWING 

IS  MANS  OPINION  THE  FRUIT  OF  RIGHTEOUSNESS

 

PROVERBS 11:30  the fruit of the righteous --IS  A  TREE  OF  LIFE-- and he that winneth souls is wise 

PROVERBS 15:4  a wholesome tongue is a --TREE  OF  LIFE-- but perverseness therein is a  --BREACH  IN  THE  SPIRIT--

JOHN 6:63  IT  IS  THE  SPIRIT  THAT  QUICKENETH  THE  FLESH  --PROFITETH  NOTHING--  THE  WORDS  THAT  I  SPEAK  UNTO  YOU  --- THEY  ARE  SPIRIT  AND  THEY  ARE  LIFE ---

PROVERBS 18:21  DEATH  AND  LIFE  ARE  IN  THE  POWER  OF  THE  TONGUE  AND  THEY  THAT  LOVE  IT  SHALL  EAT  --- THE  FRUIT  THEREOF ---

 

HEBREWS 12:11  now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous but grievous nevertheless afterward it  ---YIELDETH  THE  PEACEABLE  FRUIT  OF  RIGHTEOUSNESS--- unto them which are exercised thereby

JAMES 3:17  BUT  THE  WISDOM  THAT  IS  FROM  ABOVE  IS  FIRST  PURE  THEN  PEACEABLE  GENTLE  AND  EASY  TO  BE  INTREATED  FULL  OF  ---MERCY  AND  GOOD  FRUITS--- WITHOUT  PARTIALITY  AND  WITHOUT  HYPOCRISY

--3:18--  AND  THE  FRUIT  OF  RIGHTEOUSNESS  --IS  SOWN-- IN  PEACE  OF  THEM  THAT  MAKE  PEACE 

 

MATTHEW 12:36  BUT  I  SAY  UNTO  YOU  THAT  ---THAT  EVERY  IDLE  WORD--- THAT  MEN  SHALL  SPEAK  THEY  SHALL  GIVE  ---  ACCOUNT  THEREOF ---  IN  THE  DAY  OF  JUDGEMENT 

--12:37-- FOR  BY  THY  WORDS  THOU  SHALT  BE  JUSTIFIED  AND  BY  THY  WORDS  ----  THOU  SHALT  BE  CONDEMNED  ----

 

EPHESIANS  2:9  NOT  OF  WORKS  LEST  --ANY  MAN  SHOULD  BOAST--

PSALM 33:4  FOR  THE  WORD  OF  THE  LORD  IS  RIGHT  AND  ALL  HIS  WORKS  ARE  DONE  IN  TRUTH 

PROVERBS 8:20  I  LEAD  IN  THE  WAY  OF  RIGHTEOUSNESS  IN  THE  MIDST  OF  THE  PATHS  OF  JUDGEMENT

 

PROVERBS 12:17  HE  THAT  SPEAKETH  TRUTH  SHOWETH  FORTH  RIGHTEOUSNESS  BUT  A  FALSE  WITNESS  DECEIT

TITUS 1:10   FOR  THERE  ARE  MANY  UNRULY  AND  VAIN  TALKERS  AND  ---DECEIVERS--- SPECIALLY  THEY  OF  THE  CIRCUMCISION

 

PSALM 25:10  ---ALL  THE  PATHS---  OF  THE  LORD  ARE  MERCY  AND  TRUTH  UNTO  SUCH  AS  KEEP  ---- HIS  COVENANT  AND  --HIS--  TESTIMONIES ----
