Fruitfulness is something God takes seriously

“Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for

Abraham. Even now the axe is laid to the root

not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”” (Luke 3:8–9 ESV)
