Discussion:
Fruitful means producing much fruit, reproduction or being fertile. In John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit;apart from me you can do nothing” the keys points to master are:

* One needs to remain in Jesus to bear much fruit;
* Without Jesus we can do nothing.

In addition, without the Holy Spirit it is difficult to be fruitful which means we can only be fruitful if we have the Holy Spirit in us.Another important aspect to consider is choice, John 15:16 God has chosen and appointed us - Christians us to bear fruit.
A fruitful Christians involves:

Fruitfulness in soul winning,

Fruitfulness in maturity, and so on.

In conclusion:
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise Proverbs 11:30
