God is the vine, we are His branches, as God is the foundation rooted in the fullness of Himself all that He is God. We are apart of God through our Lord Jesus Christ joined to God by Jesus and His salvation. As a grape vine the whole plaint needs to be healthy abiding in the vine, to be full of fruit for the Glory of God ....As a willing servant we honor God in all things as His perfect will is done.....God prunes and keeps the branches so to produce fruit for His Kingdom for His Glory....John 15 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. [SUP]2 [/SUP]Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.... God knows the ones that are His.....Love in Christ Sherril...
