Bible Commentary

John 15:8

Fruitful lives display the Father’s goodness and mark discipleship. Fruit should be explained as Christ-shaped life and witness, not scores, productivity, or earning divine approval.

Memory phrase: Fruit glorifies Father

Talk about it: What kind of fruit could show God’s goodness?

Prayer: Father, let my life honor you.
