Winning the Battle Against Sin #5 - Dying to Sin Means Living with Christ

A branch cannot stay alive or bear fruit after it is cut from the vine. Jesus is the faithful vine, fulfilling the obedience Israel failed to give. His faithfulness, not human obedience, is the hope of rescue. The Father keeps pruning His already cleansed people to produce greater obedience, though His purpose in each hardship may remain unclear. Trusting the good gardener means returning to the gospel and remaining in Jesus for life, desire, and power to resist sin. Bible Reference: John 15:1–8 Preacher: KJ Tromp
