It is God's will for us that we live fruitful lives - and he has taught us how to do so.

Firstly, we need to live in a consistently close relationship with Jesus. Just as a branch draws life from its vine and a tree draws life from its soil, we cannot be fruitful without the life of Jesus flowing into us.

Secondly, we need to cooperate with God when he "prunes" us, taking good things away so that even better things can grow.

Thirdly, we need to make every effort to grow into "spiritual maturity" so that we have the character required to do great things.
