"And bring forth fruit." Those who, having heard the word, keep it, will bring forth fruit in obedience. The word of God, received into the soul, will be manifest in good works. Its results will be seen in a Christlike character and life. Christ said of Himself, "I delight to do Thy will, O My God; yea, Thy law is within My heart." Ps. 40:8. "I seek not Mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent Me." John 5:30. And the Scripture says, "He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked." 1 John 2:6.

"Og bære frugt." De, der hører ordet og tager imod det, vil bære frugt i overflod. Guds ord, der modtages i hjertet, vil vise sig i gode gerninger Resultatet vil ses i en kristelig karakter og livsførelse. Kristus sagde om sig selv: "At gøre din vilje, min Gud, er min lyst, og din lov er i mit indre." "Jeg søger ikke at fremme min egen vilje, men hans, som har sendt mig." Og skriften siger: "Den, der siger at han bliver i ham, han er også skyldig at vandre således, som han vandrede."
