FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH ARE BY JESUS CHRIST

Philippians 1:11: Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

Have you ever seen the police have to wrestle a man into handcuffs or into a jail cell? The carnal mind is not subject to the law of God nor can it be therefore natural men hate all authority. A natural man must be coerced forcefully and even then he will not comply with the whole heart. It is no different for those who are man-handled in religion. A sinner may be forced into outward compliance but inwardly they are as rebellious as ever unless the Lord Jesus Christ fill them with the fruits of his righteousness.

Have you ever seen the police have to wrestle a man out of handcuffs or out of a jail cell? When God puts his laws into our minds and hearts we delight in Christ Jesus who has set us free from captivity to sin and death. Our chief desire is to walk honorably before him, not because some preacher-policeman coerced us to do so, but because we are filled with the fruits of righteousness WHICH ARE BY JESUS CHRIST. We are thankful that we are filled with such fruit by our Lord that it might be unto the glory and praise of God and not men. How good it is to be free indeed!
