John 15:4 – Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself




Praise the Lord

Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me




This is both sobering and liberating! To experience a growing, vibrant spiritual life with Jesus is not just an intellectual exercise. Nor is it and exhausting series of good deeds. It is in remaining in the vine that our fulfillment comes. From the vine comes knowledge and good works, but now it’s from a position of having experienced God’s love and acceptance. We must resist the urge to do things to get God’s acceptance. He is offering us a resting place with Him with amazing results
