There is risk in investing in godly relationships, because you can be hurt, betrayed, misunderstood, used and manipulated; but it is worth the risk to have true biblical fellowship.

There is risk in investing in godly relationships, because you can be hurt; but it is worth it. Romans 1:11-13 Paul was an achiever, as spiritual entrepreneur looking to bear much fruit in as many places as possible. Farming fruit trees was something the culture in Paul’s day could relate to. One might think if the Bible were written today, it might use financial investment analogies more than farming analogies, because the idea with fruit is you want high-yield investments multiplied over time. Fellowship is a benefit for saints that unbelievers can merely counterfeit. People are valuable; build wealth in people. Make time for spiritual relationships according to the pattern of Romans 1. Impart, Establish, Encourage, and Bear fruit in your relationships. Seek High Yield Investments in the Spirit
