Doing Nothing On The Vine Is Insupportable
John 15:2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away…
Pruning Produces Greater Fruitfulness
John 15:2 …and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.
The Pruning Shears Are Jesus’ Teachings
John 15:3 You are already clean because of the Word which I have spoken to you.
The Secret To Continual Fruitfulness is Faithfulness!
John 15:4 Abide (Live) in Me, and I (will live) in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.
A Principle Repeated is a Principle Learned
John 15:5 I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.
Straying From Jesus Diminishes Fruitfulness
John 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Holding to His Teaching & Example Assures Spiritual Effectiveness
John 15:7 If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
