Joh 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Joh 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
It is my endeavor in this series to provide some biblically based truths concerning salvation. What are the central truths for the true believer and now indicators that a person truly has met Jesus and having the experience of being born from above (born again). We should be able to look at our lives and see proof. John the Baptist called it “Fruit meet for repentance”. It is my belief that every person that has truly met Jesus and welcomed His great salvation will have along with this confession of faith, fruit or proof of this inner work. What has happened on the inside will begin to show on the outside. I am not saying we are perfect and never fail. But we are to be noticeably different from the rest.

Jesus put it this way concerning a person who enters the Kingdom of God
Mat 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
When we are born again we leave the kingdom of darkness and enter into the Kingdom of God’s Dear Son.
Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
That New Kingdom is supposed to affect every aspect of our lives.
This new kingdom is like leaven (yeast). It is expected that the leaven of the kingdom will transform our speech, thoughts and every other part of our lives.
Christianity is an inward work that will eventually show on the outside.
Jesus put it this way!
(ISV) The wind blows where it wants to. You hear its sound, but you don't know where it comes from or where it is going. That's the way it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."
Jesus compares a person born of the Spirit with wind. You cannot see wind, but you know when it is present. You can feel it on your face. You can see the grass and the tree leafs blowing. You can see clouds racing across the sky. The wind itself you cannot see, but the effects you can. It is the same with those born again or born of the Spirit. You cannot see this inward transformation, but you can and will see proof that it happened.
As our text says.
Joh 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
