<div class="SSN_title">"Bearing Fruit"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro. In these final talks to His disciples Jesus seems to be weaving together five themes. Bearing fruit, keeping His commandments, the help of the Holy Spirit, prayer, loving one another.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. BEARING FRUIT.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. He is the true vine, the Father is the husbandman.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The branches that do not bear fruit are taken away.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The parable of the Lord who went to a far country and left His goods to the servants, to one he gave five talents to another four, to another one.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. The one who buried his talent, it was taken away from him.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. If you bear fruit, He will wash you that you might bring forth more fruit.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. I have often heard this preached as prune. Lessons on the pruning processes of God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. The word is purge, not prune.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Now you are clean through the word that I have spoken unto you.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. The requirement necessary to bear fruit. "Abide in Me."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The branch cannot bear fruit of itself, it must abide in the vine.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. You cannot bring forth acceptable fruit unto God apart from Jesus Christ.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. "Apart from Me you can do nothing."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. The life forces necessary to bring forth fruit come to the branches through the vine.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. As you live and abide in Christ, and He in you the natural consequence will be that of bearing fruit.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. If He abides in you and you in Him, you will bring forth much fruit.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">4. This is the Father's desire for you.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Do you want to know the will of God for your life? It is that you bear much fruit.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Herein will the Father be glorified.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">D. Why did He choose you?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. That you might bring forth fruit.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. That your fruit might remain. Abiding fruit. Not how many came forward to receive Jesus Christ, but how many are walking with Him five years later.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">D. What is the fruit of the Spirit? Love.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">>A. 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you that you love one another as I have loved you.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. 14:15 If you love Me, keep My commandments.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. 14:21 He that hath My commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">D. 14:23 "He that loveth Me keepeth My sayings."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">E. vs. 10 If you keep My commandments you shall abide in My love.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">F. vs. 12 This is My commandment that you love one another as I have loved you.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">G. vs. 14 You are My friends if you do whatsoever I command you.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">H. vs.17 These things I command you, that you love one another.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">I. What would you say is His commandment?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. That we love one another as He loved us.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Remember when Jesus was asked by the lawyer what was the greatest commandment, and He responded with their shema, "The Lord our God is one Lord, and thou shalt love the Lord and thou shalt love the Lord with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. And the second is like the first, you shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two are all the law and the prophets."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. 14:16 "And I will pray the Father and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. 14:26 But the Comforter which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have commanded you.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">D. 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you that truth: It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you. And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness and of judgment.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">E. 16:13 When He the Spirit of Truth is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak, and He shall show you things to come. He shall glorify Me.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">F. The things that the Holy Spirit will do.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Teach you all things and bring to your remembrance the things that the Lord spoke.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. He will testify of Jesus.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. He will reprove the world of sin, righteousness and of judgment.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">4. He will guide you into all truth.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">5. He will show you things to come.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">6. He will glorify Jesus.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">G. What is the fruit of the Spirit? Love.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">IV. THE SUBJECT OF PRAYER.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. 14:14 If you will ask anything in My name I will do it.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Vs. 7 If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you shall ask what you will and it shall be done unto you.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. vs. 15 That whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">D. 16:23 And in that day you shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily I say unto you, whatsoever you shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it you. Hitherto you have asked nothing in My name, ask and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">E. What He said about prayer.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Whatever we would ask in His name, He would do.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The importance of relationship for effective prayer, we must abide in Him and His word must abide in us.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. That prayer releases the work of God on our behalf. "He may give it you."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">4. That asking and receiving in his name brings fullness of joy.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">V. LOVE.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. 13:34 Love one another, by this shall all men know that you are My disciples, that you love one another.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. 14:15 If you love Me, keep My commandments.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. 14:21 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.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">D. 14:24 He that loveth Me not keepeth not My sayings.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">E. 14:28 You have heard how I said unto you I go away and come again unto you, if you loved Me you would rejoice for I said that I go unto My Father.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">F. 14:31 But that the world my know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment even so I do.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">G. vs. 9 As the Father hath loved Me so have I loved you, continue in My love.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">H. vs 10 If you keep My commandments you shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">I. vs 12 This is My commandment that you love one another as I have loved you.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">J. vs 13 Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">K. vs 17 These things I command you that you love one another.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">L. 16:27 For the Father Himself loveth you, because you have loved Me.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">VI. LET US SEE HOW ALL THESE THINGS TIE TOGETHER.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. His commandment to us is that we love one another, the capacity to love one another will be given to us by the Holy Spirit who is sent to abide with us forever. The fruit of the Spirit in our lives will be love. The Father desires that we bear much fruit, and this is accomplished by our abiding in Christ. When we keep His commandments by abiding in Him and we love one another, our prayer life becomes much more effective as we receive the things we have asked of Him and the result will be a fullness of joy.</div>
