| John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches Show he that abideth in me, and I in him; the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing; Jesus describes here the essence of a fruitful Christian life. By faith, we must stay connected to Christ every second of every day to live the most God-honoring and abundant life of peace and fruitfulness in Christ. After explaining to his disciples how his Father is the gardener that prunes each branch so that it can bear more fruit, Jesus urges them to stay grafted in. The image is powerful, but how does one stay connected this way? God intends us to be mindful of him and to pray without ceasing. He instructs us to be filled continually with his Spirit so that we can walk by his Spirit. The fruit that Jesus means for his disciples to bear is that of the Holy Spirit; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Gal 6:22-23) and also that of effective ministry. Both are impossible apart from Christ and the life-giving presence of his Holy Spirit in us. For the Christian, it is not necessary to learn one by one to display each fruit of the Spirit, merely abiding in Christ will cause us to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and strength and love our neighbor as ourselves (Mt 22:37-38). In this way we will exhibit all the fruit there is, guided by God, and having put to death the works of the flesh (Ro 8:13). “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. NIV: New International Version
