John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Born again believers in Jesus abide in Christ through prayer, study and meditation of His Word, worship and praise, and total surrender to His will. If we want to bear “much fruit” for His glory, we must allow Him to live His life through us.
God controls the quality and quantity of that fruit, according to His pleasure. Apart from the “Vine” we can do nothing spiritual. But if we abide in Christ, the Vine, He will use our lives in a mighty way for his glory.
Many Christians don't want to pay the price of total surrender to the will of the Lord.
Without Him I can do nothing – without Him I’d surely fail -- without Him I would be drifting like a ship without a sail. Mylon LeFevre
