Perishables

Jesus repeated the importance of bearing fruit in John 15:16. "You did not choose me, but I chose you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you."

Our focus is not on this world or the things of this world. Our focus is on heavenly things (Colossians 3:1-3). If our requests are directly related to spiritual things, things that God has ordained, we will receive what we ask. And the results will remain, not only in this life but forever.

How glorious is this promise! How empty are the things of this world. They are momentary while our inheritance is eternal.
