Clayton King ““I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.” “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:1-9, 13 ESV Love is the first step toward FRIENDSHIP “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.” John 15:9-10 Jesus' sacrifice is the way to SALVATION “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13 Believing is the first step toward ABIDING If you want to know Jesus, just ASK “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” John 15:7
