John 15:5,8,16: Jesus says, If a man:rolleyes: remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much FRUIT....This is to My Father's Glory, that you:rolleyes: bear much FRUIT, showing yourself to be My disciple ....You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear FRUIT �FRUIT that will last.�See Matt 21:43; John 15:5,8; Gal 5:22; Phil 1:11; Col 1:6,10
Matthew 21:43: Jesus warns, "The Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its *FRUIT!"
Galatians 5:22: "The *FRUIT* of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."
Colossians 1:10: "We pray this in order that you:rolleyes: may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing *FRUIT* in every good work!":applause:
Very often we hear of people who claim to be believers who give 10% to the church, go to church over 3 times a week, belong to the choir, live a good life etc etc, but don't produce any *FRUIT*! Their Pastors assure them that they are going to heaven and that they are sound in doctrine but gives them no practical ideas on how to produce *FRUIT* and how to practically use their gifts.
Matthew 5:14,16: Jesus says, �You are the LIGHT of the world...Let your LIGHT shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.":angel:
I Corinthians 3:6-9: Paul says, �The Lord has assigned to each:rolleyes: his task. I planted the seed. Apollos watered it, but God made it grow... The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers!�
Daniel 12:3: �Those who impart wisdom will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever!!�
So let our lights *SHINE* with the many gifts God has given us and we can have a REVIVAL with the hope of countless eternal rewards for faithful and loving service.
I Corinthians 1:7: For �You do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be *REVEALED*!�
So let us read God's Word daily {Acts 17:11} and then *DO WHAT IT SAYS*! {James 1:22,25}
Acts 17:11: �The Bereans were of noble character, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures *EVERY DAY*!�:applause:
James 1:22,25: �Do not merely listen to the Word. *DO WHAT IT SAYS*!... and he who continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but *DOING IT*�will be blessed in what he does.:angel:
