From Good Soil Comes Good Fruit

Good Soil Good Fruit Ministry (GSGF) was founded by Edward Rose to encourage growth in Christlikeness to bear good fruit which glorifies God in every Christ-follower.  In addition to this website, the ministry has just published Unrelenting Pursuit through Carpenter’s Son Publishing to outline this in greater detail.

Seeds are dormant capsules that will not germinate unless they fall into ideal conditions in the soil. This results in the seed sprouting, growing to maturity to produce its fruit which includes seeds that will start the cycle all over again. While we take it for granted, since life began on this planet, it has been dependent on this process.

Jesus likened the good news of the kingdom of God to a seed (see Matthew 13:3-23). When a seed of the good news falls on the good soil of the heart of a man or woman, it puts down deep roots through Jesus Christ and grows upward into maturity to produce abundant fruit. An integral part of that fruit contains many seeds planted into other people’s hearts as the Christ-follower tells them about the good news of the kingdom of God.

Why is this important to you?

The world is racked with anxiety, strife, anger, discontent, unhappiness, and depression. A relationship with Jesus Christ leads to true peace, contentment, and fulfillment. Every man and woman was created to have fellowship with our Creator God, who loves us. He sent His Son Jesus Christ to reconcile those who believe in and follow Him that they might bear the fruit for which He created them.
