Proverbs 11:30: The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. (KJV)
Righteous people are those who have a right standing with God or are made right by the blood of Jesus. Whenever a righteous person does something good to the benefit of others, it is like a tree of life which nourishes a tired and a hungry person. Every good thing that proceeds from a righteous person brings hope and strength. Whoever shares the gospel or wins people to the Lord is considered wise according to the Bible.
Fruits are produced in a tree. As long as we remain grafted in Jesus, we shall be able to bear good fruits. As long as the branch remains in the vine, it will be able to bear more fruits. In the similar fashion, as long as we remain in Christ, we shall be able to produce the fruit of the Spirit in an abundant fashion. Love, joy, peace, faithfulness, gentleness, etc., will be pouring out of our lives. When we produce these fruit, it will be like refreshing springs to the ones who associate with us. When we produce hope and faith, the others will be able to see what we have in our life and would want to have it in their life too. This does not happen with everyone. It happens only in the life of a person who is made righteous by the the precious blood of our Lord, Jesus.
Let our deeds be open before God. May we be a shining light to the nations. May people see the fruit in our lives so that we may become like a tree of life to many who have their hope in God.
