Blessings of root
6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. (Colossians 2:6-7)
“In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit.” (Isaiah 27:6)
Rooted in Christ
Believers rooted in themselves...not the Lord’s sheep
(Matthew25:32.33)32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
Believers rooted in His word
(John 15:4.5)4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
Believers rooted in church
(1Corinthians 12:27)27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
(Roman 12:5-8)5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your[a] faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead,[b] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
Reward of not rooted.....wither and not bear fruit
(Mark 4:6.17)6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 17 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.
Blessings of taking root....go and bear fruits
(Mark4:8.20)8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.”20 Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.”

Fruit of Spirit: Love....
Fruit of Salvation
(Psalms126:5.6)5 Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.6 Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.
(Glatians5:22)22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
(Ecclesiastis11:6)6 Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well.
