Filled With Fruit

Philippians 1:11
The astronomer Galileo is reported to have said that, “The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.” At the beginning of the summer season we all look forward to and are already beginning to enjoy some of the delicious fruits of soil and sun. God, the creator and sustainer of all things in this universe, is looking for fruit. He is so occupied with the producing of spiritual fruit in our lives it is as if He had nothing else in the universe to do. The church can be compared to a garden or a vineyard. In John chapter 15 Jesus said that the Father is the gardener. In His garden, there is only one plant – a vine – the true vine, who is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the vine and believers are the branches. God has saved us for the purpose of bearing fruit.
