“I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.

Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit He cuts away

and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that

continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer

and more excellent fruit.

You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word

which I have given you (My teachings).

Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. (Live in Me and I will live

in you). Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding

in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit

unless you abide in Me.

I am the Vine. You are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in

him bears much fruit. However, apart from Me ( cut off from vital

union with Me) you can do nothing.

If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a (broken-off)

branch and withers. Such branches are gathered up and thrown into

the fire, and they are burned.

I you live in Me ( abide vitally united to Me) and My words remain

in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will and

it shall be done for you.

When you bear (produce) much fruit, My Father is honored and

glorified, and you show and prove yourselves to be true followers

of Mine.

I have loved you, (just) as the Father has loved Me.

Abide in My love.

If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love and live

on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commandments and

live on in His love.

I have told you these things, that My joy and delight may be in you,

and that your joy and gladness may be of full measure, complete

and overflowing.

This is My commandment: that you love one another as I have loved you.

No one has greater love than to lay down (give up) his own life or his

friends.

You are My friends if you keep on doing the things which I command

you to do.

I do not call you servants any longer, for the servant does not know

what his master is doing (working out).

But I have called you My friends, because I have made known to

you everything that I have heard from My Father.

You have not chosen Me, but i have chosen you and I have

appointed you that you might go and bear fruit and keep on

bearing and that your fruit may be lasting, so that whatever you

ask the Father in My Name, He may give it to you.

This is what I command you: that you love one another.”

(John 15.1-17).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOR YOUR ABIDING LOVE

FOR US AND FOR GRANTING US THE LOVE SO WE CAN LOVE ONE

ANOTHER! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOR THE FRUIT WE BEAR!

THANK YOU FOR LAYING DOWN YOUR LIFE FOR US AND FOR

CALLING US YOUR FRIENDS!

“Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to give his life for even an

upright man, though perhaps for a noble, lovable and generous benefactor

someone might even dare to die.

But God shows and clearly proves His (own) love for us by the fact that

while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Therefore, since we are now justified by Christ’s blood, how much more,

(certain is it that) we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and

wrath of God.

For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the

death of His Son, it is much more certain, now that we are reconciled,

that we shall be saved ( daily delivered from sin’s dominion)

through His (resurrection) Life.

Not only so, but we also rejoice and exultingly glory in God (in His

love and perfection) through our Lord Jesus Christ. through Whom

we have now received and enjoy our reconciliation.”

(Romans 5.7-11).

Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross of Calvary to grant us

salvation and eternal Life. He took on human misery and sin to

give us the greatest future. He helps us daily through His Presence.

He sustains, guides and comforts us through the Holy Spirit.

God demonstrates the greatest love, His perfect love for us in that

while we were still sinners Christ died for us. Now, much more

having been justified by His blood we shall be saved from sin’s dominion

and from God’s wrath. WE ARE ETERNALLY THANKFUL LORD JESUS!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE! THANK YOU FOR ETERNAL LIFE!

THANK YOU FOR OUR RECONCILIATION! WE REJOICE IN YOUR

GOODNESS AND KINDNESS! WE EXULTINGLY GLORY IN YOUR

AMAZING LOVE AND PERFECTION AS WE ENJOY OUR REDEMPTION!

HALEELUJAH! WE PRAISE YOU LORD FOREVERMORE!
