John15:8
Our Lord here exhorts his followers to an holy fruitfulness in good works, by a double argument.
One drawn from the glory of God: Herein is my Father glorified.
The other from their own advantage: So shall ye be my disciples; that is, hereby ye shall evidence and prove yourselves to be my disciples.
Learn hence, That a Christian's abounding fruitfulness in good works will abundantly conduce to the honour and glory of God, and also to his own peace and comfort, by being the best evidence of his discipleship.
