Spiritually Cultivated

For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.

1 Corinthians 3:9

What do you do with a field? A field has to be cultivated in order to bring forth fruit. In the same way, we have to be cultivated spiritually if we want to be fruitful.

For 40 years, I have been cultivated by God. Chuck Smith will be 84 this year. Think about how long he has been cultivated by God. Some of you are babies in the Lord still. You have a long way to go, but if you stay humble, keep listening, studying, praying and you allow God to do the work in your life and use your life, then you will be fruitful.

If we are still here in 40 years, you will be able to teach the young guys what I am teaching you today. You will look back and say, “Wow, Chuck Smith was right.” He will be long gone, but the fruit will continue.

He also calls us God’s building. We are the Temple of the Living God. Even though we have imperfect bodies, the Holy Spirit dwells in us. If I am God’s building, full of the Holy Spirit, then I have to be careful what I do with my body.

Paul is telling us we have to be cultivated by God, so we can live fruitful lives. By allowing God to cultivate our lives spiritually, our bodies can be used by God for His glory.

A machine can do work; only a life can bear fruit.
