What is the fruit that God expects from believers, compared to a physical marriage?
God expects believers to bear fruit by bringing other people into the faith, just as a physical marriage is expected to produce children. The fruit of believers should be other believers, which is called soul winning, and it must be done scripturally.
Les teaches that just as a physical marriage is expected to produce the fruit of children, so the fruit of believers should be other believers. He calls this soul winning, and it has to be done scripturally. He connects this to Romans 11:25, where Israel’s partial blindness lasts until the fullness of the Gentiles is brought in. Les explains that the fullness of the Gentiles means the Body of Christ is complete. He gives the analogy of a baby in the womb: when the mother’s womb has finished forming every part of that little body to the last cell, delivery comes. Likewise, when God has finished drawing the last person into the Body of Christ, believers are out of here.
