Text: Genesis 1:11 - "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so."
I like fruit. No matter what kind of fruit, I seem to like all of them. When God created the world; on the third day,when He made the fruit trees, He said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself." Notice the fruit trees were to produce after his kind because the seed was in itself.
We will produce after our kind. If we are complainers, we will reproduce complainers. If we are gossipers, we will reproduce gossipers. If we are liars, we will reproduce liars. Because the seed is in the fruit and we will produce after our kind.
If we are Christians and are born again of the water and the Spirit, then we should be producing the fruit of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, etc., because the seed is in the fruit - and the fruit is in the seed.
