BEING A CHRISTIAN MEANS ONE MUST PRODUCE FRUIT THAT GLORIFIES GOD. In the parable of the vine and branches (John 15:1-8), Jesus taught the purpose of the disciple s relation to Him was that God might be glorified by the fruit produced in the life of the disciple. The fruit one produces as he abides in the vine may be the development of the qualities of life referred to by the apostle Paul as the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). The fruit that glorifies God will be the influence one has on others as he serves as the salt of the earth and light of the world (Matthew 5:14-16). The fruit which pleases the Father will be the teaching which results in souls become obedient to God s will. Being a Christian involves the enjoyment of the most precious blessings experienced by man. At the same time, being a Christian involves the greatest responsibilities which can be imposed on him. Do you enjoy the blessings promised to God s chosen people? Have you been persuaded by words of truth and soberness to become a child of God? If not, make your commitment now to serve God with all your heart, mind, strength, and soul.
