Everyday Promises – 173

You will bear much fruit

“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. John 15:5 NIV

In Winter, the work in a vineyard begins with pruning off the old canes and rolling on the new ones. This pruning is essential because the fruit only grows on the new cane and the old cane is useless. So it is in the Christian life. Jesus likened himself to the vine and we are like the branches, we need to stay connected and have regular pruning so that we can bear fruit – the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, patience , kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. This verse is a promise, that if we ask Jesus to dwell with us each day and learn of him, we will demonstrate God’s love in our lives.
