Jesus Is the Vine – Part 2
Dr RJ Sing · 1 min read
“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.”
You are the Righteousness of God. Now you may not look it, but God looks at you and says, “You are the Righteousness of God.” You may not feel like it, but you know Salvation is not about feeling. You don’t feel saved every day, but if someone had to ask you if you die would you go to Heaven? Absolutely yes!
You see, it’s not by feelings, it’s by facts. You got to know the legal aspects of your redemption. It is not a matter of whether you feel saved. You are saved. It is not a matter of whether you feel God’s Presence or not. You know His Presence is here. Why? He said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5 NKJV. That is a statement of fact. In the Christian life you will have persecution. However, while dealing with persecution you must persevere. You must do everything necessary to stay in good relationship with Him, because He is the Vine.
Now that you are a branch, expect pruning. Jesus said that every branch produces fruit, will be pruned so that it is made to produce more fruit. So when you encounter challenges in life, count it worthy that it is to make you more productive in the Kingdom of God. Jesus is the Vine and you are the branches. Always remember that without Him, you can do nothing.
