About this episode

Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge discusses the importance of being fruitful and making a difference in the lives of others as part of God's plan.

God’s plan for us is not only for us to be cleansed of sin through the blood of Christ, but also to be fruitful, make a difference, and do good by the power and gifts of God. People say, “Life is a journey; enjoy the journey,” but life is also about getting to the end, reunion with God, receiving the gift of God’s Son, God’s Spirit and God’s life by engaging in God’s work and helping others do the same. One of the overarching purposes of life is to become fruitful. To make a difference in the lives of others is not only part of the journey but also part of the destination. It isn’t just about faithfulness, but making a difference. And what is the highest expression of fruitfulness? Feeding the starving masses, finding a cure for cancer, “cheering up the sad and making someone feel glad?” No, as noble as those things are. The highest expression of fruitfulness is to help others close the gap of separation from God by receiving God’s greatest gifts, His Son, His Spirit, and His life.
