Righteousness is not only a living force within a soul (see Proverbs 11:28), it spreads through our lives to become a source of blessing for others. The fruits of a righteous life, such as loving deeds, believing prayers, and godly conversation, share abundant and eternal life with others, as they are led to the Saviour who sustains the righteous, with the fruit of His Spirit being produced within them. But in addition to their being like fruitful trees, the righteous are intelligent sources of life who are able to go out, who therefore can wisely and winsomely reach out to others, inviting them to experience and see that the Lord is good.
30 Le fruit du juste est un arbre de vie,Et celui qui gagne des âmes est sage.
