The offspring of the early patriarchs seem to be their chief accomplishment. With no deeds mentioned, we see the importance of children and family influence.

Although we know of no natural offspring of the Apostle Paul, he surely had significant spiritual reproduction. He referred to Timothy as his son in the faith. He spoke of the members of New Testament churches as being his joy and crown.

Hence, both natural and spiritual reproduction are significant. Christianity is a family affair.

PRAYER: Lord, I want to be fruitful in Your Kingdom.
