03 | Cultivating True Greatness and Spiritual Success | John 15 | Mike Bickle

Jesus spoke of some called “great” and some called “least” in the kingdom. God will call their life choices “great” because they loved and obeyed Him. This greatness is attained without regard for outward achievements and impact. It is based on the size of one’s heart response to God. God is far more committed to our fruitfulness or true greatness and spiritual success than we are. "Whoever breaks [consistently] one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does [consistently] and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
