Bearing the Fruit of Repentance
By Rachel VanDuzer

“Bear fruit in keeping with repentance.”  - Matthew 3:8 

In Matthew 3, John the Baptist rebukes the religious elite (Pharisees and Sadducees) for not demonstrating evidence of repentant hearts and good fruit in their lives. The definition of repentance is “the sincere acknowledgment of wrongdoing, coupled with a genuine resolve to change.”

In scripture, we see that repentance from our sins leads to reconciliation with God. Ultimately, this will be evidenced by producing good fruit, including the greatest commandment of loving the Lord our God with all our hearts and loving our neighbor as ourselves (Mt. 22:36-40), and the fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Gal. 5:22-23). Fruit is seldom produced without careful cultivation. Likewise, in our own spiritual lives, we can’t expect to produce fruit without being rooted in good soil and remaining attached to the True Vine. (John 15).

Earlier this week, I sat at the breakfast table, drinking my coffee and looking out over my prepared garden bed. I had spent months amending the soil with more loam, manure and a variety of compost. But I realized something important - this spot didn’t get enough sunlight for sun-loving plants.

I had a difficult choice to make: continue on with my perfect soil and shadier spot, or turn from my initial plan in order to produce better fruit (and vegetables). I chose the latter. It meant more work breaking new ground, getting some new material and moving dirt around, but in the end, I believe it’ll be worth turning from the path I was on. 

What other ways do we fail to repent in our spiritual lives and miss out on producing the best fruit? “Lord, help me consider how you may be leading me to turn from what’s comfortable to grow fruit in keeping with repentance. Amen.”

Lessons from Lot’s Wife
By Danielle Avery

“Flee for your lives! Do not look back or stop anywhere in the plain” - Genesis 19:17 NIV

As the sun began to rise over the cities of S***m and Gomorrah, Lot and his family were urged to flee for their lives. The angels warned them. Yet, amidst the chaos of escape, Lot’s wife looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt (Gen 19:26). Her act of looking back serves as a reminder of the dangers of longing for the past.

What prompted Lot’s wife to look back? Perhaps it was a yearning for familiarity, a nostalgic grip on the life she was leaving behind, or a sense of loss for what was known. In our own lives, we often find ourselves caught between the past and the future, tempted to linger on what was rather than focusing on what lies ahead. Jesus echoes this sentiment in Luke 9:62, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” There is profound truth in these words. Looking back can hinder our progress, cloud our vision, and prevent us from fully embracing the new opportunities God has in store.

Are there relationships, mistakes, or fears that keep pulling you back? The call to follow Christ is a call to move forward, leaving behind what no longer serves us. Make a conscious choice to release these burdens.

Write down what you need to let go of, and submit it in prayer to God.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the lessons from Your Word that guide us. Help us to release any burdens from our past that keep us from moving forward in faith. Give us the strength and courage to let go of distractions and attachments that hinder our commitment to You. May we fix our eyes on Jesus, trusting in His perfect plan for our lives. As we embrace the future You have for us, fill our hearts with hope and excitement for what lies ahead. Lead us in Your ways and help us to serve You wholeheartedly, without looking back. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Embrace the freedom that comes with moving forward. Your best days are still ahead.
