If you truly abide in Me, and I in you, you will bear much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing,” John 15:5. When we first moved into our 96year-old home there was a pear tree that was about 2 feet in diameter and 35 feet tall. It was so old and dead looking that we almost cut it down….until it bloomed and produced the most pears we had ever seen on one tree! The value of a fruit tree is not measured by its age or height but the amount and quality of its fruit. The same is true for Christians. The Bible often uses the metaphor of fruit to describe what our lives produce. Fruit can be either good or bad as stated in Matthew 7:8 and Luke 6:43. A fruitful Christian will produce better results: “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,” Proverbs 11:30. When you ask Jesus to be Lord of your life, He came to live and make a difference in you, through Him. Page #8 That’s you abiding in Him and Him in you. The harvest of that relationship is sure to be abundant. Separated from Him, you can’t produce a thing of value to the Kingdom of God. Anyone who separates from Jesus is like deadwood, gathered up and thrown on the bonfire. But if you make yourselves at home with God’s word and allow His words to change you, you can be sure that you will show yourself to be His child and produce good fruit. Fruit is a metaphor for God showing who He is through the changes in your actions as you mature as His disciples. The motives of your heart need to be continually renewed and transformed in to the heart of God. Your thinking will be more Christ like as your heart changes to want what God wants. This can only be done by abiding in God’s word. Spend time reading, studying, and prayerfully meditating on the teachings of Jesus and allow your heart to change…your actions will follow. As you step out in faith and believe the promises that Christ has given and obey His commands, you will begin to bear much fruit in your life and influence those that you spend time with to bear much fruit in their life. “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit…fruit that will last,” John 15:16. If you don’t have a Bible please contact me at [email protected] and I will provide you one. Dawson McDonald in the triple jump.
