Schaeffer: unfaithful fruit

[Romans 6:14-21]

This passage points out our high calling, to put ourselves by choice in the arms of our rightful lover, our bridegroom, in order to bring forth his fruit in the external world.  But it also warns us that it is possible, even after we are Christians, to put ourselves into the arms of someone else and bring forth his fruit in the world....if I....am not bringing forth the fruit that one would expect, the fruit of Christ, there is spiritual unfaithfulness on my part...so the word faithless has a very pointed meaning.  If I do not have faith toward Christ, I am unfaithful toward him, and this is faithlessness.
