9 And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
- Why are you to be filled with the fruit of righteousness?
- Who does righteousness come through?
- Why does your daily life matter if righteousness is from/through Jesus?
- How does knowledge relate to love and righteousness?
Love with knowledge and discernment. Now that is something we seldom see packed together. There are a lot of books on love but not so many on discernment. There is an intriguing formula here. Growing love, knowledge, and discernment is the first step of making excellent choices. Our choices determine if we are pure and blameless and filled with the fruit of righteousness. Ultimately God is glorified and praised. Jesus is involved all the way but we still have to make the choices each day. The intriguing part is that I have considered righteousness to be a fruit, not something that has fruit. I am curious. What do you consider the fruit of righteousness through Jesus to be?
