It is important to understand that the Gospel bears fruit in your life. This is how a true believer is shown to be different from a false believer. The Gospel real and life changing. Paul says that the whole world bears fruit and that those in Colossae are bearing it as well. It is his prayer for them that they will be filled with Godly knowledge (9) and walk in a worthy manner and bearing fruit in their lives (10). It is the prayer and desire of every Christian pastor to see individuals growing in their knowledge of God, living lives that show the fruit of knowing Jesus and the power of His Gospel. Where is your life bearing Gospel fruit? Where is it bearing rotten fruit?
