Abide in the Vine
Pastor Zubeda Sing · 2 min read
“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.”
Jesus is the vine, we are the branches. We abide in him and He abides in us. We remain in him and He remains in us. As we draw off the sap from the vine, our branch becomes strong and sturdy, well able to hold the fruit of the spirit. This fruit becomes the life we get to share with others.
The fruit of the spirit are:
love,
joy,
peace,
longsuffering,
gentleness,
goodness,
faith,
Meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law.
When we abide in the vine, our branches cannot help but produce the fruit of the tree of life, which is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance. We become more tolerant of people. We grow in our love walk. We are more peaceful in all that we do. We are easy travel with along this journey because we are more peaceful and less troublesome. There is a gentleness that we have that just cannot be obtained in our own strength. Meekness does not mean weakness but rather it is power under control. We are able to withhold our temper or short sightedness because the fruit of temperance is developed by the Holy Spirit in our lives.
The Holy Spirit develops organic spirt fruit in our lives that become attractive to the world making them hungry to know Jesus, because of the fruitfulness in our lives. The thriver thrives in bearing fruit.
