First Fruits “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you… “Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you askin my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other.”JOHN 15: 15-16
