There are two types of fruit a Christian bears. One is the internal fruit of the Spirit.
Galatians 5:22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
The other type of "fruit" is the external good works that have eternal value that we were created in Christ to do.
Ephesians 2:10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
People who fall away from Christ and get caught up in the world don't bear fruit.
Matthew 13:22The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful.

It's the fruit of the Spirit. Those things that we do that are inspired by the Holy Spirit. That is the fruit. The fruit is the only thing of substance that we can do to have substantial reward in Heaven. When Christians say, " Glory to God" it is because it really is glory to Him, because He is responsible for that act, whatever it might be.
