起源
短语“bear fruit”的起源可以追溯到圣经。在圣经中,耶稣经常谈论在信仰中坚持并产生善行。例如,在约翰福音15:8中,耶稣说:“By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.你们多结果子,如此可以荣耀我父,你们就是我的门徒了。”“bear fruit”作为一个比喻,被耶稣用来描述过着善良、正直和忠诚的生活。当基督徒们行善、变得仁慈、精神成熟时,他们被视为结出了果实。这展示了他们信仰的活力和美德。 基督徒所结的果实包括爱、喜乐、和平、忍耐、仁慈、良善、信实、温柔和自律等(加拉太书5:22-23)。当信徒在他们的生活中培养这些品质时,他们通过所产生的果实证明了他们信仰的真实性。 相反,如果没有好的果实,信仰就被视为死的(雅各书2:17)。因此,结出果实是活跃信仰的标志。它表明耶稣的灵在信徒中活着并工作着,使他们每天都更像基督。
