The Bible teaches that Jesus is our Father and the Church our mother (John 14:9; Galatians 4:26). This means that evangelism and consistent church growth ought to be the natural, normal result of a loving and intimate relationship between Jesus and a local congregation. According to Peter, we should expect to be “neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:8). According to Jesus Himself, we have been chosen and ordained by Him to “go and bear fruit” and that our “fruit should remain” (John 15:16).
