Fruit That May Be Produced By Our Union With Christ (Even During Times of Suffering) From Colossians 1:24-2:5

In Colossians 1:24-2:5, Paul writes while suffering in prison to tell these new Christians in a new church about the fruits that he hopes to see produced in their lives because of their union with Christ. Fruits like: Joy, Hope, Maturity, Power, Encouragement, Assurance, and Firmness. The fact that we can experience these fruits in our lives–even during times of suffering–is a supernatural gift that comes from Christ who dwells in us.
