True Vine

"I AM the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.  Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses  and  repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more richer and more excellent fruit". John 15:1, 2 AMP.  Jesus is very clear here on what He says about being part of the vine. He is the root of the vine, we are the branches of the Vine, and God is the Vinedresser, the Gardner and the Care Taker.  If one of the branches stops growing fruit it is cut off and taken away. A fruitless branch is no good to the Vine. It will eventually contaminate the rest of the branches. So, fruitless branches are cut off and soon to be thrown into the fire. However, those that bear fruit are cleaned and looked upon carefully, pruned to bear more fruit. The more a fruitful branch is pruned the richer and more excellent is the fruit that comes forth. So, we as believers, who stay in the Word of God, fed by His very Word, will produce fruit. There will come a time in our walk with Christ when we will become mature and alive, bearing fruit in every good work. Seek the Lord in Spirit and in Truth. God Bless You.
