Bearing fruit in witnessing and bearing fruit in spiritual growth
We bear fruits when we witness to others and they become believers. We can also bear fruits in our lives as we learn and grow from spiritual knowledge. When my life produces fruit from walking in the Spirit, I am a witness to others.
As fruit is unique to each tree, our fruit is unique to us. God knows what He has entrusted to each of us and what He expects us to do with it (Luke 12:48). Our responsibility before God is to be "faithful with little" so that He can trust us with much (Matthew 25:21). This is a fruit life in bearing others for the Kingdom.
The Christian life is a battle in the sinful flesh against the new nature given by Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). As fallen human beings, we are still trapped in a body that desires sinful things (Romans 7:14-25). As Christians, we have the Holy Spirit producing His fruit in us and we have the Holy Spirit's power available to conquer the acts of the sinful nature (2 Corinthians 5:17; Philippians 4:13).
