"Be Fruitful"
(We must bear fruit)



8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 9 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”(Luke 3:8-9)


We were saved by the grace and love of the almighty God. He gave us his son to die for our sins, and to develop a deep and intimate relationship with him. God gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit to guide us and to comfort us. With the gift of the spirit we are also given much power through the power and strength of that spirit. God will be watching to see how we use those gifts, to make sure that we do not squander all the he has given us. We will need to live a life that bears fruit. That his how we measure our committment to God.


It is important that I check God daily to make sure that I am where he wants me to be. I need to live life for him, through him. My vision needs to be his vision. I need to make sure thjat I no longer exist for me, but I only exist for him. Then I will live a life that bears fruit, no matter how big or small.


Mighty God our Father, thank you for the gift of eternal life. Search my heart Father to make sure that the vision that I pursue is your vision and not mine. Thank you God, Amen.
