What works are equivalent to producing fruit that are true and acceptable to God that could go handthe fruitfulness demonstrated in hand with The Parable of the Talents? (Matthew 25:14-30.)

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. [Matthew 25:23 KJV]

All servants but one produced double what their master (God) entrusted them. There is an answer I saw here that said it was about doing something with the faith given to each person, and producing fruit. This is as I also understand it, I understand the meaning of the scripture but it doesn’t help me at all if I don’t know how to put it into practice. What is acceptable fruit? What does producing fruit BY YOUR FAITH look like today? I work a job, we speak about Christ often. We speak about scripture. Short of going out and preaching on a street corner (my knowledge of scripture isn’t there yet and what I do understand I find hard to know exactly how to put it into practice), what fruit is there to produce?

I don’t want to be like the last servant who dug a hole in the earth and hid the masters talents. I need some direction.

I should have prefaced the question by stating that I understand that we don’t live a works based salvation, but the word says that faith without works is dead. And, you show me your faith without works and I will show you my faith BY my works.

I hope that the link I post is to the answer I saw that made me ask this question. It was a good answer and I believe is an accurate one. I just need more depth, knowledge and understanding.

The answer I reference was by MSW.
