Subject: No Fruit? |
Bible Note: Val, I went back and read your other post after seeing this one. I may have misunderstood you. I thought you were pointing out (with your question) that in fact fruit did consist of preaching the gospel and the conversion of new believers. I may still be confused on what you are asking so correct me if I'm still misunderstanding :-) Are you saying and/or asking, because Christ had not died yet that the fruit of a disciple would not include the gospel message? If so, are we to believe the revelation that had been given them was only partial? What would we include in "all things that I have heard from My Father"? John 15:15 (NASB) "No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. Again, if I'm misunderstanding just turn me around :-) It's late and I'm cross eyed right now :-) Steve |
