We all long to bear fruit for Jesus Christ, don’t we? Thankfully, Jesus very succinctly gives us the key to being fruitful: In John 15:5 He says, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”

So there it is - that’s the answer! Remain in Jesus Christ and you will bear much fruit. Stick close to the Lord. Learn about Him. Let Him nourish you like a vine nourishes its branches. Talk with Jesus. Read and meditate on the Holy Word of God.

As we do these things, we are literally growing in Jesus Christ. It’s the key to fruitfulness. And a fruitful disciple can’t help but draw others to the Lord.

Jesus promises that as we remain attached to the vine - to Him - we will bear ’much fruit.’ Not just a little fruit. Not just a few pieces here and there. But, Christ promises that there will bear lots and lots of fruit! Isn’t that exciting?

All this happens by simply walking with the Lord throughout your daily life. You love your family, you respect co-workers, and you’re aware that Jesus Christ is opening doors and using you. And that, my friend, is bearing much fruit! What could be better than that?
