A. We have been called to bear fruit, and so the Father will be glorified.

1. The Father is glorified as we as Christ’s disciples bear much fruit, John 15.8.

2. The fruit that we bear in Christ’s name for the Father’s glory is to be fruit that remains-lasting, enduring, and abundant fruit-in our lives, in our praise, and in our ministries, John 15.16.

B. In order to bring glory to God, we must embrace a lifestyle of sacrificial service, showing a willingness to die to ourselves in order that we might be free to live for Christ and his Kingdom alone.

1. We must be willing to sacrifice all else for his name’s sake and glory, Phil. 3.7-8.

2. We are called to take up our cross daily and follow him.
