Title: Towards the Fruit
Contents:
We have passed the threshold of autumn. You can hear the sounds of ripening grain, chestnuts, apples and pears in the distance in the distance. I feel that every day really changes. Everyone struggles for the bountiful autumn fruits. The appraisal of everything will be evaluated in abundance of fruit.
So is our life.
After we have lived the life we have been given, the Lord will ask us to bear fruit. No, you're going to look for fruit explicitly.
chosen
He said that I did not choose God, but God chose me. It is as if I did not come from my parents' children, but as my parents gave birth to me. It didn't start with me, it started with God.
purpose
The first is to set it up.
He established me as a people of faith and established me in that place.
It is for fruit.
The fruit problem is treated and compared with importance throughout the Bible. In order to bear fruit, it must be well attached to the tree.
tree without fruit
God speaks about trees without fruit in many places in the Bible.
Matthew 3:10 The ax is already at the root of the trees; every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
Mark 11:14 is a curse on the fig tree, which has no fruit and only leaves.
Among the fruits, the most precious fruit is the soul.
The three major subjects in Israel are the olive tree, the fig tree, and the vine.
the only way to achieve
Who doesn't want to be successful? How many people really don't want to be rich?
parable of the vine and branches
This parable tells us that a branch cannot bear fruit apart from its roots.
The Relationship Between Jesus and the Saints (Life Without Jesus)
There can be no success without Jesus, but he does not acknowledge it. Do not try to bear fruit, just stick to the vine, and the fruit will bear itself. If you do not try to succeed, but do your best and live by faith, success will come automatically.
to bear fruit and be blessed
Matthew 7:16-21 It is not that the fruit is judged by the tree, but the tree is judged by the fruit.
