In this Scripture reading, Jesus tells us that if we don't remain in him, if we don't bear fruit that we will be pruned from the vine and thrown into the fire.
Jesus says that we must bear fruit to remain in Him. Jesus says that we must remain in Him and His words, teachings.
Bearing fruit and remaining in Jesus words is more than 'Faith Alone'. If we and our faith don't bear fruit we will be cut off. What does this mean?
15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[
a] so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also 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.
“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.
If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words
I loved this one thank you for taking the time to share you know the concept of how the fruitless branches will
Be thrown into the fire there ?
here’s another clear witness of the same but with added revelation
“For
it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
For
the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
but
that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.”
Hebrews 6:4-8
your post and then point you made is paramount To our faith and is the source of everything Jesus offers like the holy ghost
“If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.”
John 14:15-17, 20-21, 23-24 KJV
so many Christian’s won’t hear it but Jesus continually heartened believers dorectly to his word and doctrine to abide in the gospel meaning his teachings towards us is salvstion in every way
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24 KJV
the amazing part is that of Adam had remained in his words and teachings In Eden , he also would receive the same blessing until forever if any human will hear what God has said will save them and abide in those parameters it will be the same they will live forever in the kingdom with him
you’ve got upon the nail that fastens our faith to Christ Jesus our belief in his word is our bond to him and the gift of Gods grace is prevelant throughout his teachkngs e shouldn’t think we need to abide in Moses doctrine but in Christs
so what happens if we realize wow I sinned when I did that thing the other day or today ? What does Jesus tell us to do ?
“
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged:
condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned:
forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall be given into your bosom. For
with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
Luke 6:36-38 KJV
And again
“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: but if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
Matthew 6:14-15 KJV
so it’s important we don’t look at Moses word because he says when someone sins accuse them witness against them and then gather together and kill them
Jesus would never say that we will bear fruit because we go to the right word and we will bear fruit into death of we go to the wrong one
“For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.”
Romans 7:5
rather than looking to the law we can just hear the gospel that produces the fruits of the spirit
“
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
John 6:63 KJV
to go to the right word is what actually causes us to produce the fruit
