<br>"ABIDING IN HIM"
|
|
<br>I. THE WHOLE IDEA IS THAT OF BEING FRUITFUL. The primary desire of my life is to bear good fruit for my Lord. No other accomplishments that I may achieve are as important as this. One day when I stand before Him to give an account of my life, this is all that will really matter. What kind of fruit can I offer to Him? Things that we learn from this passage:
|
|
<br>A. If the branch does not bear fruit it is taken away.
|
|
<br>1. There is nothing more worthless than a branch that does not bear fruit.
|
|
<br>2. Jesus spoke of the tree that did not bear fruit that the husbandman ordered it to be cut down.
|
|
<br>3. Jesus cursed the barren fig tree that it died.
|
|
<br>4. God spoke of all that He did for His vineyard that he might enjoy the fruit, and all it brought forth was wild grapes. God spoke of His judgment that would come upon that vineyard.
