• 约翰福音 15:8

你们多结果子，我父就因此得荣耀，你们也就是我的门徒了。

• 马太福音 7:15-20

“你们要防备假先知。他们到你们这里来，外面披着羊皮，里面却是残暴的狼。岂能在荆棘上摘葡萄呢？岂能在蒺藜里摘无花果呢？凭着他们的果子，就可以认出他们来。这样，凡好树都结好果子，而坏树结坏果子。好树不能结坏果子，坏树也不能结好果子。凡不结好果子的树就砍下来，丢在火里。所以，凭着他们的果子就可以认出他们来。”

最初的门徒有了知识之后，如果没有按照耶稣的吩咐去做的话，他们就不会被视为真的门徒。同样，为了显示我们是耶稣的门徒，我们就必须“结果子”，也就是说，我们要把人带到上帝面前，让上帝改变他们，使我们所拥有的救恩“繁衍”在他们心里。得救的人能救别人！

• John 15:8

By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.

• Matthew 7:15-20

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.

The first disciples wouldn’t have really been considered disciples if they hadn’t actually done what Jesus told them to do with the knowledge they had. In the same way, we must show that we are His disciples by ‘bearing fruit’ which simply means reproducing the salvation we have in other people by bringing them into God’s presence and allowing Him to change them. Saved people save people!
