God's First Commandment - podcast

God’s First CommandmentMost Christians assume God’s first commandment began with the Ten Commandments given to Moses. But long before Mount Sinai, before Israel, and even before sin entered the world, God gave humanity His very first command: “Be fruitful.” In this episode, we explore why God’s first instruction was not simply about having children, but about producing a life that reflects His character. From Genesis 1:28 to the teachings of Jesus in John 15, Scripture consistently reveals that God looks for fruit in the lives of His people.Join us as we trace this remarkable theme from Genesis to Revelation, discovering that God has always been more interested in what we become than simply what we accomplish. We’ll examine the Fruit of the Spirit, the parable of the barren fig tree, and Jesus’ call to abide in Him so that we may bear much fruit. You’ll be challenged to ask one life-changing question: If God came looking for fruit in my life today, what would He find?Experience a New Life in Jesus ChristIf you have not yet experienced the life-changing power of a relationship with Christ, we invite you to open your heart to Him today. Embrace the truth of His resurrection and embark on a journey of transformation, guided by His presence and fueled by His mission of love and redemption.The Bible teaches us in Romans 10:9-10 that “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.”Do it today and start enjoying a new life in Jesus Christ.Take the next step in your spiritual growth.
