God's Words For US
by Cecelia Lester
“I am the true vine, and My Father
is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me
that does not bear fruit He takes away;
and every branch that bears fruit He
prunes, that it may bear more fruit…
Abide in Me and I in you. As the branch
cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it
abides in the vine, neither can you,
unless you abide in me.”
John 15:1,2, and 4 (NKJV)
Jesus speaks to His disciples about the importance of living for Him. He calls God the vinedresser, one who cares for the vine and the yield of fruit. He tells them that He is the vine; His followers are the fruit.
In His comparison, the vinedresser (God) prunes the vine for that vine to bear more fruit that stays on the vine matures and flourishes.
Is this not what God does for His followers today? Believers beset by difficult, if not traumatic, circumstances in their lives make decisions to either stay with God or go their own ways.
What are ways we can abide in Jesus?
Through prayer
Through Bible reading
Through Bible study
Through meditation
Through Journaling
Through listening to Him
Through obeying what He tells us
