Scripture: Luke 3:8, “Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.”

Observation: John the Baptist proclaimed the message of genuine repentance. Repentance is a change of mind, which always leads to a change of behavior. This does not mean that John was looking for perfect people; but changed people. When you have an encounter with Jesus Christ your life will be radically changed! You will desire not only heaven, but you will desire to serve God more faithfully, and you will desire that others come to faith in Christ.

Application: What kind of fruit areyou producing? Do you love Jesus, and others more today than you did yesterday? Are you in the Word of God? Are you applying God’s truths?

Prayer: Dear Lord, it is with great appreciation that I come to you today! Thank you for giving me eternal life! Thank you for the conviction to serve you more today, than I did yesterday. Please help me to be a servant that produces much fruit for you! In
Jesus Name. Amen!
