Philippians 1:11

"May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ—for this will bring much glory and praise to God."

Notice who produces good things in our lives. It's not us! It's Jesus. As we abide in him, he will change us and produce good fruit. Focus on the abiding, and he will take care of the fruit. A fruit tree doesn't labor to produce fruit. It's the natural result of the branch's attachment to the trunk and source of nutrients.
