'A fruitful Christian life
A fruitful Christian life
"My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit , and so prove to be My disciples." John 15:8
Usefulness is the true measure of living. Our Lord made fruit the test of discipleship.
What is fruit? It is something which the tree bears to feed men's hunger. In discipleship, then, fruit is something that grows upon our lives, which others may take and feed upon. It is anything in us, or that we do, which does good to others. A fruitful Christian life is one, therefore, which is a blessing to men — one that is useful and helpful.
