I. Know God, grow in Him, walk in Him
(1) Love the Word of God (READ BIBLE)
Man shall not live by bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4
(2) Communion with God (PRAY)
Note: Knowing God involves trials, pain, pruning... towards growth.
For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him. Philippians1:29
II. Bear much fruit
- We are saved by God's grace, not works, but if no fruit, question the authenticity of one's faith
- Fruit can be saving souls, giving praise, but in this context it is Galatians 5:23... But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
