REMAIN IN ME, AND I WILL REMAIN IN YOU. NO BRANCH
CAN BEAR FRUIT BY ITS SELF; IT MUST REMAIN IN THE
VINE. NEITHER CAN YOU BEAR FRUIT UNLESS YOU
REMAIN IN ME. I AM THE VINE; YOU ARE THE BRANCHES.
IF A MAN REMAINS IN ME AND I IN HIM, HE WILL BEAR
MUCH FRUIT; APART FROM ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING.
( JOHN 15:4-5 *NIV ) Now our Savior Jesus Christ is the vine and we are the
branches, so you may ask what is this fruit? The answer
is found in the Book of Galatians, for it is written; THE FRUIT
OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENTS,
KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS
AND SELF CONTROL. AGAINST SUCH THINGS THERE IS
NO LAW. (GALATIANS 5:22-23 )
The fruit of the Spirit is the work of the Holy Spirit within
us, for it produces these character traits in us. It helps us to
become more like Christ, which should be the goal of every
Christian.
This happens to us because; IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST,
HE IS A NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED
AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THING HAVE BECOME NEW.
( 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 )
So, why not take a few minutes tonight and read this
wonderful 15th Chapter of John. For those words were spoken
by our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Now may; THE GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,
AND THE LOVE OF GOD, ANT THE COMMUNION OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT BE WITH YOU ALL. Amen.
(2 CORINTHIANS 13:14 )
