Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. Matthew 3:8 NIV
God's revelation in my quiet time this morning which might also speak or encourage others:
It's a new year. It's a new season. Are there things, acts, attitude, wrongdoings, anything, God is convicting, leading me/us to stop doing, confess to Him or to anyone I/we have wronged and strongly repent from?
The verse clearly tells me/us that producing fruit is the mark that true repentance is taking place. For example if I/we have issues with sins of the tongue, I/we need to acknowledge and confess it before God and apologize if I/we have offended someone and ask God's help to repent from it. The fruit that will come out is becoming gentle and speaking life or encouragement unlike being the opposite before.
God will always be gracious to me/us and will strengthen and grant me/us the blessing to be Christ-like.
