John 15:1-10 (KJV)

John 14:15

John 15:14

Ø   “Abide” in Christ:  To remain inside, to be able to stand, to be able to live with, to continue...  You cannot abide with someone you cannot stand.

Ø    In John 15:1-10  the word “abide” appears nine times and bearing fruit five times. This shows  the emphasis our Lord Jesus placed on the two words.

Ø    To bear fruit, we must abide in Christ.

Ø    For our foundation to be rid of what does not look like Christ, we must abide in Christ.

Ø    For us not to love the world or the things inside it, we must abide in Christ.

Ø    To bear more fruit, Christ will prune us.

Ø    The Lord will only concentrate on those abiding in Christ.

Ø    The Lord in His mercy is granting us divine concentration and He has warned us this will not be forever. This concentration can involve hardship, lack and suffering
