The Vine and Branches: Who Is Thrown Into the Fire? | John 15:1–6 | Episode 66

What do the vine and branches in John 15 represent, and who are the branches Jesus said would be thrown into the fire and burned?John 15:6 is often used to teach that Christians can lose their salvation, face punishment from God, or be cast away for failing to produce enough fruit. But Jesus did not introduce the imagery of a vine and its branches without context. Israel had already been described as a vine throughout Scripture, and that background helps us understand what Jesus meant when He called Himself the true vine.In this episode, we trace the vine imagery through the prophets, consider the connection between John 15 and Romans 11, and examine what belief, unbelief, the faithful remnant, and the warning of the burned branches reveal about this difficult passage.Read the companion study and join the conversation:https://wakinguptograce.com/066-thrown-into-the-fire-and-burned-john-15-1-6/
