Fruit
Blue v14 Ch 1 Malv14 "But cursed be the deceiver who has in his flock a male, and takes a vow, but sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished- For I AM a great King," says the LORD of Hosts, "And My Name is to be feared among the nations."
Matthew 13:23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Matthew 7:17-18 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. v18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
30, 60, 100 fold producer. And good fruit only produces good fruit, so? What kind of fruit is it when only producing 30, i.e., what is the other 70 accounting for when only good fruit produces good fruit? Take blogging for example, not every message is producing a hundredfold but every message is producing good fruit because sometimes it's not merely how well the gift (message) flowed, rather it is that i'm operating in the good fruit of faithfulness, so even though some messages aren't as great as others, that in and of itself does not determine if i'm good fruit or not, but whether or not the character (fruit) of Christ, the fruit of faithfulness (Gal 5:22) was and is present. Are you looking for knowledge that will vanish away (1 Cor 13:8) or fruit from God's Spirit? Faithfulness is good fruit, and herein you can see how Jesus has never left me, failed or forsaken me (Heb 13:5).
