Why is fruitfulness important for Christians?

Fruitfulness holds great significance in the life of a believer, as emphasized by Jesus in John 15:8: 'Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.' The fruits we bear are reflective of our faith and relationship with Christ. They validate our discipleship and serve as a testimony to others of God's work in us. Furthermore, our fruitfulness fulfills God's purpose for our lives, demonstrating His grace and leading others to glorify Him through our good works. Thus, being fruitful is both a privilege and a responsibility for all who abide in Christ.
