Spurgeon Commentary

The text (Gal 5:22) speaks of “fruit,” and fruit comes only from a rooted abiding. It could not be conceived of in connection with a transient sojourning, like that of a traveler. The stakes and tent pins that are driven into the ground for a nomad’s tent bear no fruit, for they do not remain in one…

Fruit does not start from the tree perfectly ripe at once. First comes a flower, then a tiny formation that shows that the flower has set. Then a berry appears, but it is very sour. You may not gather it. Leave it alone a little while, and allow the sun to ripen it. By and by it fills out, and you have…

God the Architect Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Psalm 127:1a Recommend Reading Psalm 127 Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the twentieth century's most well-known architects, practiced "organic architecture" - designs that flow out of and reflect the context of their environment.…

A tree of common fruit may be let alone so long as there is some little fruit on it, but the very best fruit gets the sharpest pruning. I have noticed that in those countries where the best wine is made, the vinedressers cut the shoots right close in, and in the winter you cannot tell that there is a…

The birds go flying through the orchard, and they do not say a word to one another till they come to a cherry tree where the cherries are very sweet and ripe. Then they all fall to at once and begin to peck away with all their might. So nobody says much of an ordinary Christian who is doing little for…

We need to preach the truth continually, for even those who know it need to be reminded of it again and again. Truth unpublished is like seed laid up in a florist’s shop; it does not produce any result. We need to have the truth constantly sown in our hearts, and watered by the Holy Spirit, that it may…

When we intend to do Christian service tomorrow, and do it faithfully and well, yet we sin. There is a contract for certain steamers to carry Her Majesty’s mails, and they are bound to leave Liverpool at such a time and arrive at New York so long afterwards. Suppose they leave six hours after the time.…

Do you see that clock? That is the evidence of the time of day. The hour would be precisely the same if we did not have that evidence. Still, we find the clock of great use. So we say that good works are the best evidence of spiritual life in the soul. Is it not written, “We know that we have passed…

One says of Father Adam that he knew a great deal, and it was a pity that he did not know one thing more: namely, that he knew enough. For had he known that he knew enough, he would not have eaten of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. You know enough when you believe. If you know…

Plants unknown in certain regions have suddenly sprung from the soil: the seeds have been wafted on the winds, carried by birds, or washed ashore by the waves of the sea. So vital are seeds that they live and grow wherever they are borne; and even after lying deep in the soil for centuries, when the…

When John Bunyan was a boy, he was so foolhardy that when a snake rose against him, he took it in his hand and plucked the sting out of its mouth, but he was not harmed. It was his turn to stand sentinel at the siege of Nottingham, and as he was going forth, another man offered to take his place. That…

Who among us can tell all the perils of this mortal life? I remember reading a work in which there were collected together numerous instances of the simple means by which men have died, such as the swallowing of a fruit stone, or the sticking of a small bone in the throat, the breathing of some invisible…

We never find Adam afraid of God or of any manifestation of Deity while he was in Paradise an obedient creature. But no sooner had he touched the fatal fruit than he found that he was naked, and hid himself. When he heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, Adam was…

Christians, never be satisfied with being merely saved. Up with you! Away! Off! Go onward to the high mountains, to the clearer light, to the brighter joy! If saved, and brought, like the shipwrecked mariner, to shore, is that enough? Yes, for the moment it is enough to warrant the purest satisfaction…

A farmer plows his field, and if it brings forth no harvest, he may plow it again; but he will not always go on plowing a field that is as barren as a rock. A gardener may come to a fig tree, and if it bears no fruit, he may prune it, and dig about it, and dung it, but he will not go on doing that year…

It is not possible that any sin should ever be forgiven to any man without shedding of blood. This has been known from the very first. As soon as man had sinned, God taught him that he needed a sacrifice. Adam and Eve, after they had sinned, tried to clothe themselves with fig leaves, but that was not…

A man takes a mass of metal. It appears to you very pure, and very beautiful to look at. It is alloyed. He puts it into his refining pot, he heats the coals, and he begins to stir it. You say to him, “What are you doing? You are spoiling that precious metal. See how foul the surface is! What a scum floats…

When I was seeking the Lord, I not only believed that I could not pray without divine help, but I felt in my very soul that I could not. Then I could not even feel aright, or mourn as I would, or groan as I would. I longed to long more after Christ. Alas! I could not even feel that I needed Him as I…

Holiness is not the cause of spiritual life and safety; faith is the wellspring of all. In the spring you see the hawthorn covered with a delicious luxuriance of snow-white flowers, loading the air with fragrance, but no one among the admiring gazers supposes that those sweet blossoms caused the hawthorn…

In the book, The God Who Knows Your Name Max Lucado writes, “The Father tends. Jesus nourishes. We receive, and grapes appear. Passersby, stunned at the overflowing baskets of love, grace, and peace, can’t help but ask, “Who runs this vineyard?” And God is honored. For this reason fruit bearing matters…

Kate Marvel, a scientist writing for ScientificAmerican.com, believes that we live on a miracle. “We are improbable life on a perfect planet. A flower in a garden is an exquisite thing, rooted in soil formed from old rocks broken by weather. It breathes in sunlight and carbon dioxide and conjures its…
