Our original purpose is still our original purpose.
Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply;… – Genesis 1:28
The meaning of being fruitful and multiplying is not just limited to the idea of procreation or “having children”, God has called us and equipped us to bear spiritual fruit in our lives.
John 15:8 – By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
John 15:16 – 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.
When we are bearing fruit we are most satisfied, we are doing what we are created to do. This command from the beginning is still ringing out today, do you hear it?
The only way that we can bear any fruit is to stay connected to the Vine! Jesus! The life of God is the very thing that flows through us in order to bear fruit. This life that Jesus came to provide is developed in our lives through our daily fellowship with Him. We must give ourselves to the Word and prayer in order to receive from Him, for the purpose of bearing fruit.
Let’s get connected and stay connected to the Vine, so that we can bear fruit, be fruitful and multiply.
