Bearing Fruit

Colossians 1:9-14 "... we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.  And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.  For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."

We are to be FRUIT bearers.  

Matthew 7:18-21 "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.  Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.  Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.  Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heave, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."


John 15:16 "You did not choose me but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit - fruit that will last..."


What kind of fruit has my life produced?  What legacy will I leave?

Will God be praised through what I have done and what I will do?  How can I live my life as a praise offering?  

My answer lies in the Bible.
