I Am: Part 15
Are you a leafy Christian or a fruit-bearing disciple? This powerful message from John 15:1-12 challenges us to examine what we're truly producing in our walk with God. Jesus declares "I am the true vine" and calls us to remain connected to Him through His Word.
Here's the truth: we face two choices—be cut off or be pruned. Both involve removal, but only pruning is purposeful and leads to abundant fruit. The difference? Staying rooted in God's Word. Without it, we become foliage Christians with all appearance but no substance. God isn't looking for leaves; He's looking for fruit that glorifies His kingdom.
The missing ingredient in our lives is often simple: we're not remaining in His Word daily. When we hide Scripture in our hearts and obey His commandments out of love, we become true disciples marked by fruitfulness, obedience, and joy that overflows—even in difficult seasons.
What will you choose today? Let God's Word prune you so you can produce much fruit for His glory.
