God’s Command to Man; Be Fruitful!
God’s command to Man; Be Fruitful!
Genesis 1:28
“Then God blessed them and said unto them, ‘Be fruitful’...!”
What a plant produces as fruit must be of the same type, quality and substance as the plant. So when God said, “Be fruitful” he emphasized an understanding that the fruit we bear must be of the same TYPE, QUALITY and SUBSTANCE in His IMAGE and LIKENESS.
In John 15:5, Jesus makes a clear delineation between the vine and the branch; the two are joined but not the same- the vine gives life and the branch draws life from the vine to bear fruit. As the branch draws life from the vine, so are we expected to draw life from the true Vine; Jesus Christ.
Abiding in Christ involves drawing upon the life of Jesus and this is possible if we remain stable and constant in our relationship with God. Until we ABIDE IN CHRIST, we cannot carry out the command to be Fruitful!
The amount of fruit we bear must correlate with how apparent it is to others that we are believers; for “herein is our father glorified when we bear much fruit.” (John 15:8).
Is your faith known to Others through the fruit you bear?
You have not been called to produce!
No planting is needed on your part!
The seed is already in you; once you’re rooted; you just need to BEAR FRUIT in type, quality and substance to the vine.
Abide in the True Vine; Unite with Him and allow Him to work through you.
Bear fruit!
Not just some fruit, but much fruit!
Are you fruitful? What fruits are you bearing?
Are people brought to Christ through your fruits?
When you learn to abide in Christ, the impossible on your part will become possible. Draw upon the life of Jesus and watch your life draw others to glorify Him.
