PRODUCE FRUIT!
Jesus explains to us, “THOSE WHO REMAIN IN ME, AND I
IN THEM, WILL BEAR MUCH FRUIT” [Jn 15:5 GN]. Many
want to produce fruit in their lives for varying motives including
the sin of “PRIDE” [Mk 7:22]. Some charming people serving
God appear to be bearing fruit or being successful by the world’s
standards and have large churches or get large numbers to make
decisions to follow Christ. Years later many large church buildings
are not being used or are used for other purposes, because the
charming leader is no longer around. One highly successful
evangelist in the world’s eyes did research 20 years later and found
that less than 5% who made decisions for Christ are still involved
in following Christ. Jesus encourages us to “BEAR FRUIT --
FRUIT THAT WILL LAST” [Jn 15:16 NI]. As we remain in
Jesus, we will follow His example and teachings and allow our
obedience to God result in fruit that will last, fruit that is
impressive to God. Do you produce fruit?
