Bearing Fruit, Revised and Updated: What Happens When God's People Grow

by Robby Gallaty

Overview

Why are so many Christians stagnant in their faith? Why do we often live as though the gospel stops at the moment of conversion?

The good news of Jesus doesn’t stop the moment we get saved. In fact, salvation is only the beginning of God’s work in our lives. The gospel of Jesus doesn’t only justify us; it sanctifies us. When we receive the Holy Spirit at salvation, an incredible work begins to happen in us: we begin to bear fruit. When we are firmly planted in the gospel and committed to growing in Christ, He produces in us the fruits of the Spirit, the marks of a true Christian.

In Bearing Fruit, Robby Gallaty, pastor of Long Hollow Baptist Church and founder and president of Replicate Ministries, walks us through the life of the Christian. Biblical, intentional, and practical, Bearing Fruit is the perfect conclusion to Gallaty's discipleship trilogy, following Growing Up and Firmly Planted. This book points our hearts to the gracious God who called us, justified us, and is now sanctifying us by the work of His Holy Spirit.
