The fruit of righteousness is compared to a tree of life, symbolizing the eternal benefits of living in alignment with God’s will. A righteous life, rooted in wisdom and obedience to God, bears fruit that brings life, not only to the individual but to others as well. The wise person, who lives according to God’s Word, impacts others by leading them to life, healing, and salvation. Just as a tree gives life to those who eat its fruit, the righteous person is a source of spiritual nourishment and blessing to those around them. This is the kind of life we are called to live—a life of righteousness that produces not only personal blessings but also shares those blessings with others. Wisdom, when applied to life, has the power to save and transform lives. Our righteous living can bring life to a hurting world, pointing others to the ultimate source of life—Jesus Christ.
