"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise." (Proverbs 11:30 NKJV)
He declares the ultimate result of walking right in the sight of God is the fruit which produces eternal life. That is the fruit of the Holy Spirit who lives in us when we invited and received Him to come into our hearts at that moment of salvation. That is when we accepted Jesus our personal Lord and Savior.
When the righteous walks in grace by faith in Christ Jesus, the fruit of the spirit is revealed - love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.(Galatians 5:22-23 NIV) The wise who is led by the Spirit of Christ bears this fruit. By this fruit he wins the souls who are lost. He is made a fisher of men as Lord Jesus proclaimed upon Peter and Andrew. It is written: 'While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him.' (Matthew 4:18-20 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
