Jesus didn’t save us from our sins just so we could go to Heaven and avoid Hell.
He saved our souls so that we might be actively engaged in His service here on earth, and we need His power to get the job done.
Never let the child of God think he or she can do it on their own.
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.
It’s crystal clear. To bring forth much spiritual fruit — to bring honor and glory to Jesus’ Name — we must abide in Jesus.
Abiding in Jesus means getting into His Word and praying a lot because you love Him. It means loving others because Jesus told us to.
Now that’s a blessed way to live.
