Roots Downward and Fruit Upward


Isaiah 37:31 
And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah Shall again take root downward, And bear fruit upward.

Just as God showed fruitfulness for those of Judah He delivered (saved) from their enemies, so He intends us as reborn creations to take root in Christ to grow in fruitful faith as we walk with Him.  We put roots down into Christ and His word to bear fruit by His Spirit up to God! 

Ephesians 3:17.  that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
Colossians 2:7.  rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
