Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What kind of fruit is growing in your life-and what does it reveal about your Root?Galatians 5 is one of the clearest pictures in Scripture of the difference between a life controlled by the flesh and a life led by the Holy Spirit.But Christian freedom is often misunderstood.Does grace mean we are free to live however we choose? Does holiness mean following enough religious rules? Is the fruit of the Spirit something we manufacture by trying harder to become better people?FRUIT HAS A ROOT - Volume One: Freedom, Holiness, and the Fruit of the Spirit takes readers deeply into Galatians 5 to discover a powerful truth: Fruit does not create the Root. The Root produces the fruit.From a biblical Wesleyan-Holiness perspective, Rev. John E. Miller explores what it means to be truly free in Christ, how the flesh and Spirit battle for influence in our lives, and how genuine spiritual transformation begins from within.Journey through the fruit of the Spirit-love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and temperance-and discover why these qualities are more than personality traits or improved behavior. They are evidence of the Holy Spirit's transforming work.Volume One explores: - The difference between Christian freedom and permission to sin- The conflict between the flesh and the Spirit- Why bad fruit points to a deeper root problem- How each aspect of the fruit of the Spirit appears in everyday life- Why gifts, talents, and religious activity are not substitutes for character- The difference between holiness and legalism- How spiritual growth can become spiritual pride- What it means to crucify the flesh and walk daily in the Spirit- Why true freedom should increasingly look like Jesus- Entire sanctification and the meaning of a heart fully surrendered to GodThroughout the journey, two simple frameworks help make these truths practical: R.O.O.T.R - Relationship with ChristO - Obedience to the SpiritO - Ongoing SurrenderT - TransformationF.R.U.I.T.F - Filled with the SpiritR - Rooted in ChristU - Under His LeadershipI - Increasing in Christlike CharacterT - Transformed from the Inside OutThis is not a book about becoming more religious.It is about becoming more like Jesus.Because when Christ is the Root and the Holy Spirit is given freedom to work, transformation will eventually become visible.ROOT produces FRUIT.The fruit reveals the Root.Volume One contains Chapters 1-18 of the complete FRUIT HAS A ROOT study and continues in Volume Two: Living, Examining, and Sharing the Fruitful Life.
