Abiding Connecting - IV

Fruit is the purpose of this connection. Fruit is any expression of God’s life flowing into the branch. Fruit could be someone choosing to follow Jesus and beginning to live a life connected to him and to his community. Fruit could be transformation in the life one following Jesus. Fruit could be an outflow of love expressed in service, mercy or compassion in some area in the world. Fruit could be an outpouring of holiness expressed by a cessation of some evil or the initiation of justice. Fruit should be all of the above. If it is not all of the above, we are missing something in our relationship to God.
