Abiding In the Vine revised

 

In John in the fifteenth chapter Jesus advices his disciple to abide in the vain, "I am the true vine, and my father is the husband."By declaring to be the true vine or the bearer of the fruit Jesus establishes his position as the producer of the fruit in the father as the keeper in planter of the garden, and owner of the field. Jesus speaks on "every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that bearth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit."No branch escapes the father's touch it's either removed or purged the father desires abundance. Jesus goes a little further "Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you."Jesus words clean us so the words of Jesus are important in the life of the believer. Jesus continues "Abide in me, and I in you as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in me."Here Jesus gives the secret to soul winning abiding in him, which produces two requirements of soul winning one being cleansed by his word the other producing fruits that will attract. "I am the vine you are the branches: He that abideth in me and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit for without me you can do nothing." Here Jesus describes the abundant soul winner as one that lives within him or should we say one that lives by the principles of the teachings of the word. Jesus gospel was winning soul into the kingdom of God and this was his assignment to his followers. If a man abides not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned."

If man choose to live outside the principles of Jesus he follow the ways of man in are gathered in cast into the fire the hard times of the ways of the world brings on own destruction physically and spiritually.

"If ye abide in, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." This scripture is one of the most misrepresented in all of the word of God because when we abide in Jesus we have a set of principle that we live by that's about giving and helping others that makes most if not all of our request centered around being useful to others. When we ask on these terms we always receive more than enough because the fathers see us abiding in Jesus in knows what he supplies will help many.Becuse when we are abiding in the vine we fruitful and we attract those who seek to follow the ways of the son.

In closing following the teaching of Christ and tell others the good news of the kingdom of God and you will be a part of the great harvest abide in Christ and he will abide in you.

Jesus clearly showed that He cares for the lost. This is why we don't go to heaven the moment we are saved. We are left to speak to every available person at every available time in every available way and all in God's power. Love you brother william. Cling to the Lord and follow His lead and you will abide in Him and be so fruitful. Thankyou for your faithfulness.
