30 Days To Greater FaithSýnishorn

No amount of Christian activity compensates for an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ. Our authenticity (or lack thereof) is made evident by the fruit that our lives are bearing, fruit that is only produced by the Holy Spirit.

If we want to bear good fruit, working on our soul muscle is imperative, regardless of whether or not our pasts look like a train wreck. The goal for all of us is to develop prosperous souls from which flow the qualities Paul mentions in Galatians 5. 

This fruit cannot be manufactured or externally generated; it results only from soul transformation and an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ.
