Key Verses: John 15:3-4 Here Jesus gives us the key to increasing our level of productivity and thereby increasing the quantity and quality of our service to our society. I use these terms because there is both a spiritual and material benefit to increasing our productivity. The spiritual benefits are numerous, but here are a couple: 1. In order to truly produce the kind of "fruit" or outcomes God requests and requires of us, we must be walking in a close, intimate relationship with Him through Christ. So the first benefit is the peace and confidence of having a close relationship with God 2. We are able to see and take advantage of opportunities that only God can open for us. We will be able to walk through doors that we would have otherwise never known were there or been prepared to walk through. One possible and major material benefit is that of greater career satisfication and often increased income. There are many factors that affect our income, but certainly the value the market places on what we do is one them. So if we are producing something or several things of great value to our market, we will be compensated accordingly.
