Quick answer
Such enduring fruitfulness declares that the LORD is upright, a rock with no unrighteousness. The lives of the righteous testify to God's perfect character.
Overview
The purpose of the believer's lasting fruitfulness is to display God's uprightness and reliability. He is the 'rock,' an immovable foundation, utterly free from injustice. This declaration of God's perfect righteousness is fully vindicated in Christ, in whom God is shown both just and the justifier of sinners (Romans 3:26; Deuteronomy 32:4).
