Fruit bearing has a progression: No fruit; fruit; more fruit; and much fruit. In verse 8 it says," By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples." When we bear much fruit we glorify God and we are proof positive that we are true disciples of Jesus Christ. Many people try to be good, honest people who do what is right. But Jesus says that the only way to live a truly good life is to be available to him, like a branch attached to the vine. Apart from Christ Jesus our efforts are unfruitful. Do you want to glorify God? Bear much fruit!
