Remain Fruitful John 15:4-5 | Hannah White
from Gateway City Campus · host Gateway Baptist Church
John 15:4–5 "Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “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." Jesus’s teachings are full of agricultural metaphors. That makes sense for the creator of the earth! Doing the work of the Kingdom; that is, doing the stuff that Jesus did with the same heart and character as He has (Galatians 5:22-23), He describes that lifestyle as bearing fruit. The only way a branch can bear fruit is by remaining in the vine. A detached branch loses any chance or hope of bearing fruit. Fruit is not for the vine or the branch but produced to be enjoyed by others. When fruit is picked from the branches, no harm or damage is done to the branch. In fact, it increases the potential of the branch as it remains in the vine, drawing the necessary nutrients for fruitfulness. The fruit that we produce as we remain in Jesus is always about serving others and doing good to them, even our enemies.
