"Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you."
John 15:16 KJV

This is what it is all about. This is WHY we were saved in the first place. We were called and set apart by Jesus, Himself, to bear fruit, or reproduce ourselves!

We were not saved so we could spend eternity in heaven. That is only a benefit of our salvation.

Jesus said: "And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19 KJV Thats how we know if we are really following or not. If we are not fishing, we are not following!

Amen, and praise God for your Pastor. He is so right, and I have found this has been becoming increasingly heavy on the hearts of Pastors, Teachers, and Christian leaders all over the world.

There is nothing more important for us to do and nothing that will bring us more joy! And on top of that it is a Commandment from our Lord Jesus!

In fact that whole 15th Chapter of John is like a beginners manual in Christianity 101!
