Now that you know the truth, Make sure that you continue in the truth And bear fruit for God There is so much deception in the world So many things that can turn us off course from following God But we need to fix our eyes on Jesus And keep trusting and obeying Him Even though obedience isn't the root of our salvation (That is, we can never be good enough to earn our salvation And free ourselves from our slavery to sin and our eventual judgment) Obedience is a fruit of our salvation What I mean is The Holy Spirit inside of us changes our lives so much That our very desires change So that we want to obey God He leads us into all truth Convicts us when we sin And produces a new life in us of goodness and rightness Purity and holiness These are all fruits of the Holy Spirit's work in our lives Jesus told His disciples that we need to remain in Him If we want to bear all of this good fruit He said that He is like a vine And we are like branches We need to remain connected to Him In love and obedience So He can produce His fruit in our lives But Jesus also said that if any one us is a branch that doesn't produce any fruit The Father cuts off that branch In fact, He said that if we do not remain in Him We are like branches that are thrown away and wither Now, that branch is no longer good for anything So it is thrown into the fire and burned But Jesus didn't call us out of our old lives just so that we could burn He chose us so that we would bear fruit and God would receive glory Because of the amazing work He does in our lives Let me put it to you this way God's message (This Good News that I've been sharing with you) Is like a seed And each one of us can be a different kind of ground Some of our hearts are hard like pavement The seed tries to get in and plant itself in our hearts But it can't find any good crack within the pavement The seed doesn't sprout at all Instead, birds come by and eat the seed This is you if you hear this message but don't understand it Others of you will hear this message, and you will love it But just like a seed planted in rocky ground The seed won't take deep root in your heart As soon as this message starts to bring you trouble or persecution Maybe from friends or family or the government You will abandon the faith Just like a plant without much root being scorched by the sun Yet others of you will hear this message And you will be excited about it for a while But soon, you'll start thinking about other things All the worries and concerns of this life And how to be successful here Money, possessions The message in you will be just like a seed that As it sprouts and grows Gets choked up by thorny ground And you will not bear fruit for God But some of you will hear this message And you will understand it And you will go deep with God And build a real relationship with Him Where you love Him And He loves you And you are eager to do what He says And tell others about Him It won't matter who comes against you Or who speaks bad about you It won't matter if this message causes you pain or suffering Or if you end up in jail for the message Or even if you die for Jesus All that will matter to you is loving your God and Savior And you will endure all the way to the end And bear a lot of good fruit Just like a seed planted in good soil Which grows and grows and produces a big harvest And know this As we are working out this new life God is likewise working in us He doesn't leave us stranded He loves us and is eager to complete the work He's started in us So I urge you, search your heart Salvation isn't only about one decision you make one day And then the rest of your life is just the same as it was before If I've been saying anything I've been saying that truly being saved means God gives you a new life Where the whole course of your life is now changed As the apostle Paul said "Just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord Continue to live your life in Him" So, remain in Him Obey His voice He is saying "This is my command Love one another" And if you remain in Him He will bear fruit in your life
