…abide in Him… we may have confidence… at His coming. 1 John 2:28
Jesus illustrated believer’s relationship with Him as vine and branches. Just as branches can only bear fruit if they abide in vine. Same way believers can glorify Father GOD through fruitful lives is by abiding in Jesus.
“I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing”. John 15:5
The vine is Jesus, while we(believers) are the branches and Father GOD is gardener. He prunes the fruitful branches so they will bear more fruits and takes away the unfruitful branches throwing them into the fire.
Let us abide in Him and be prepared for His second coming.
Father GOD, Thank you for your Son Jesus Christ. Help us to bear fruits of spirit for your glory. Please help me to abide in Jesus all my life in Jesus Name. Amen!!
