John 15:1-11 NLT
Since Jesus is the True Vine we should expect pruning
People who follow Jesus bear fruit and people who do not follow Jesus do not bear fruit. Fruit is defined in Galatians 5:22-23. Jesus prunes us so that we might bear more fruit and draw closer to Him.
Since Jesus is the True Vine our position is now in His presence
If you are in Jesus then Jesus is in you! Don't avoid Jesus because of how sinful you are, rather run to Jesus so He can make you clean.
Since Jesus is the True Vine we have the power to love
We should have a love for Jesus that leads us to obedience instead of trying to be obedient so that we can love Jesus. If we want to love Jesus then we need to do things that stir our affections for Him.
