The Law demands fruit.
Grace produces fruit.

Jesus said,
“A good tree cannot bear bad fruit.”
Matthew 7:18

Fruit is not forced.
Fruit is the natural outcome of the life inside the tree.

Paul writes,
“It is God who works in you both to will and to do.”
Philippians 2:13

This means the desire and the ability come from Him.
Your part is to believe.
His part is to produce.

Good works done under pressure feel heavy.
Good works done from grace feel like overflow.

The Christian life is not a treadmill.
It’s a vine-and-branch relationship.

Jesus said,
“He who abides in Me… bears much fruit.”
John 15:5

Much fruit — not by striving harder — but by staying connected.

Fruit grows best when the tree stops trying to be a tree.
