THE VINE AND THE BRANCHES.

Key Verse

“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5).

Text — John 15:1-10

Message

As Christians, we bear more fruits as branches when we abide in Christ, the true Vine.  We draw vitality from Him for fruit bearing. Have you ever seen a branch bearing fruit by itself when it is detached from the vine? Of course no! Jesus is the Vine, we are branches. Our attachment to Him helps us bear more fruits that glorify God. When we do His will, we are simply abiding in Him.  

No youth can claim to be abiding in Christ when he is living in sin, for sin  separates one from God. When we abide in Christ, we have the benefit of answered prayers. On the other hand, when we do not abide in Christ, we are cut off from the supply of grace and wither away. We must make up our minds to abide in Christ continually through diligent study of the Scripture and obedience to the commandments.The saints of old were holy and separated from the world’s system through walking in the footsteps of Jesus. May we be like them until we get to heaven.

Quote

Jesus is the Vine, we are branches
