We explore the profound difference between bearing fruit through legalism versus bearing fruit through grace, unpacking what it truly means to "abide in Christ" and how this transforms our spiritual fruitfulness.
• Understanding what it means to abide in Christ through grace, not self-effort
• How the commands of law ("love your neighbor as yourself") differ from the commands of grace ("love as I have loved you")
• Why Paul confronted Peter over his legalistic behavior in Galatians 2
• The distinction between fruit that comes from Christ versus works that come from self-effort
• How Christians can inadvertently fall back into legalism and stop bearing fruit
• The true source of the fruit of the Spirit – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control
• Why mixing law and grace prevents us from bearing the fruit God desires
• Understanding that we do not produce fruit – we bear it by remaining connected to Christ
