God derives so much pleasure in the salvation of sinners and that’s why he chose us, and as the light of the world, we are to shine forth and bring fruits (souls) with our light. That’s why he said in Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. As fruit bearers whatever we ask of him in the name of Jesus he will surely give us.
