Scripture: John 15:1-8
Devotional:- "By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will
be My disciples".
We can identify a disciple by the fruit he bears. A disciple of Jesus will live like Jesus, talk and behave like Jesus. This is an evidence that he is following His master.
Jesus said we must be in close
relationship with Him to be His disciple. The word of God said we need to abide
in Him. This is an intimate relationship that makes us to accurately emulate
the master. Any one can not be in a very close relationship with Jesus and not
be able to bear the same fruit with Jesus. (Proverbs 13:20).
Please understand that we bearing Christian
names does not make us Christians. Jesus said by their fruits you shall know
them (Matt 7:20) These fruits are the life style of following the master. They
are the fruit of the spirit (Gala 5:21). In John 15:8, Jesus said, it is only
when our lives bears the fruits of the spirit that we can be called the
disciple of Jesus. This means, each of us can measure if we are of Christ or
not. Take time to keep close relationship with the word of God and the people
of God and you will bear the fruit of Christ. Peace.
Prayer:
Lord, make me a fruit bearing Christian.
