Be Fruitful!

The first commandment God gave to Adam and Eve after He created them was to be fruitful and multiply. He told them to reproduce more of themselves in the earth.

Each time God created something, He looked to make sure it was good. Before He moved a step forward, He made sure what He had created was up to His standards. So, when He told man to reproduce, He was telling Him to reproduce something good.

I believe that's why satan was so quick to move to get Adam and Eve to fall into sin. He knew that if they reproduced, he would have a harder time getting sin to take root. He had to strike before they reproduced after the goodness of God. And, as evidenced by Cain's murder of his brother, satan's strategy was right on point.

Now we can all see that sin has taken this world over, and it is multiplying and producing its deadly fruit all over this planet. However, God's goodness is still in existence on the earth. It dwells in those who love Him and have accepted His Son as their Savior.

But how many of us are being fruitful and multiplying? How many souls are being changed from the world of darkness to the Kingdom of Light? Have you been fruitful? Can you point to anyone and say that you introduced them to Christ?

Today, let's make an effort to produce some fruit! Let's tell someone about our Savior, let's influence someone to do the right thing, let's let our lights shine so someone can be drawn to the love of God.
