I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruits; for without Me you can do nothing.
John 15:5
Yes, the scripture says that we must bear much fruits in order to abide in the vine. Jesus is the vine, and the Father is the vinedresser (John 15:1). Bearing much fruits for Jesus is to abide in Him (John 15:5). Knowing Jesus is one thing, and bearing fruits for Him is another. They are not the same. We can know Jesus and yet disobey Him. It is only through loving and knowing Him, by being yielded to Him, that we can bear much fruits. John 15:5 says that without Jesus we can do nothing.
Matthew 3:8 says that we are to bear fruits worthy of repentance. Bearing fruits for Jesus meant having the right relationship with Him. Are you bearing much fruits for Him and what are you doing to prove it? For in Matthew 3:10 it says that every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and throw into the fire. Having a relationship with Jesus and living holy life causes us to bear much fruits. By it all men will know that we are Jesus’ disciples.
The fruits that we bear must encompass souls coming into the Kingdom of God. As we build God’s Kingdom, we want to bear lasting fruits for Him. Soul winning is certainly one of the ways that will bear its heavenly significance because God loves people and souls are important to Him. If you want to bear fruits, look unto Jesus and He will show you the way to serve and love Him and causes you to be abundantly fruitful for Him.
Examine yourself and see what you have done for Jesus. Are the things you do measuring up to His kingdom and worth counting for eternity?
“Jesus, we want to honor and please you in everything that we do. We want to bear much fruits for you and serve you wholeheartedly. Teach us to obey you so that we can be yielded to you and do all that you want us to do. Show us your Kingdom so that we may build it accordingly to your will. Give us peace that we know your purpose is fulfilled in us. Let the things that we do be done in your name. In your glorious name we pray, Amen.”
