Summary
There is the world’s way, and then there is The Jesus Way. The world is about living for yourself, and yet Jesus invites you to find your life In Him. If you are in Jesus, then you will bear fruit. Your life will be productive and beneficial. The challenge is to remain in Jesus. We are so tempted to run after the things of this world, but they never satisfy. Only Jesus satisfies both in this world and for eternity. Are you bearing fruit in your life? Trust Jesus today and remain in Him.
