While we are here in the earth, the Lord desires that we bear fruits, increasing fruits (John 15:2), if we will allow Him to work in us as we live according to His commandments. As we allow this to go on in our lives, we form a part of the Kingdom of God here in the earth, extending the influence of God in the hearts of men.
Becoming a vessel of God through this process of bearing fruits, helps us appreciate more our existence in the earth, who the Lord is to us and what he seeks to make of us.
