Today we continue our study on Born to Reproduce.
Dawson says: “Only a few things will ever keep human beings from multiplying themselves in the physical realm. If a couple is not united, they will not reproduce. This is a truth which Christians need to grasp with reference to spiritual reproduction. When a person becomes a child of God, he should realize that he is to live in union with Jesus Christ if he is going to win others to the Savior.”

A thought occurred to me, a question really, that I thought I should ask, before we go on. Actually, I had one question, which was quickly replaced with another. I was going to ask: “Do you want to have (spiritual) children?” We were created by God to, we were commanded by Jesus to, and the Holy Spirit enables us to do this.

My next thought was that we can be obedient without wanting to do the task; then the real question became clear: Do you want to live in union with Jesus?

It’s your choice. But we need to clear that up quickly. You see, if you desire to be with Him, and draw near to Him, then everything else comes into focus. The Scriptures tell us that if you draw near to God and He will draw near to you and that if you seek His kingdom before anything else, then all the other things will be added to you. Included in those things will be the desire to reach out to and disciple others.

When a man and woman fall in love; the desire to have a family is quite natural; God wired us that way.

Live in union with Christ and you will want to add to your spiritual family.

The next step is yours.
