Fruit Bearing Is The Goal!

 

John 15:16-17

"You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. These things I command you, that you love one another."

I say to you again THIS TRUTH: The ultimate goal of every true Christian is to bear fruit! It is to become LIKE our Master, JESUS THE CHRIST! He is the Captain of our salvation, and it's God's desire to bring many sons to glory, through the shed blood of His only Begotten Son.

The religious leaders of today do not help believers to come into a saving knowledge of their soul, nor are they made disciples of Jesus, or converted to Christ. They just say come as you are, but the multitudes STAY AS THEY ARE! They are not changed where it matters the most, INSIDE THE HEART AND MIND!

And why not you ask? Because they are taught to just confess the name of Jesus, and Just believe or accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior and then you are saved! Can anyone please show me where it says that in scripture! Many quote Romans 10:9, but Paul was talking to Christians who were already converted! Those scriptures ARE NOT the roadmap to salvation!

Sure, it's great to hear the word, believe what you heard, and then confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, but you still need to OBEY the words of Jesus and His apostles by being baptized in water by full immersion and then baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire, by the Lord Jesus Himself! And this baptism is evidenced by speaking in other tongues!

My point being that without full and complete conversion to Christ by being born from above by water and Spirit, you cannot enter the kingdom of God, therefore it's not possible to Bear The Fruit Of The Spirit! If The Spirit Of God IS NOT IN YOU!

This is exactly why millions of professing Christians around the world have no power to overcome their flesh, the world, or the devil! You can always fake the fruits of the Spirit by doing good works, smiling all the time, giving to the homeless, sharing your possessions with others, you can show these outward displays of fruit but is it really the fruit of the Spirit birthed in your soul that cannot be hidden? Or how about when calamity strikes your home, your health, your finances, your family, your children etc... that is when what is really in our hearts comes out!

This is also why Jesus commanded His disciples to love one another, because then the whole world would know that they are His disciples, if they loved one another! The testimonies we read about in the book of Acts are clear examples of what love should look like in the body of Christ. Meeting together daily, eating together often, sharing the word of God with each other, giving up possessions and finances to help each other! That is love! And that is a fruit of the Spirit!

John 15:5-8

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.  If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples."


In Jesus,
