My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples — fruit-bearing is the evidence and expression of discipleship; the disciples glorify the Father by living lives of transformed productivity, by bearing the fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control). To become Christ's disciples more fully is simultaneously to glorify God, to display God's character through the quality of one's life.
