Plugged Into Christ 🌿
📖 John 15:1–18
Jesus is the vine, and we are the branches. When we give our lives to Christ, we become connected to Him—His life flows through us, and we begin to produce His fruit. (Galatians 5:22–23)
If we are truly abiding in Christ, our lives should increasingly reflect who He is. There are behaviours and attitudes that shouldn’t remain in us because they are inconsistent with Christ.
And even when we’re bearing fruit, God still prunes us. Through His Word and the Holy Spirit, He corrects and refines us—not to punish us, but because He loves us and wants us to bear more fruit. (Hebrews 12:5–6)
We are cleansed by the Word, which is why abiding requires staying connected to Scripture. (Psalm 1:1–2; Joshua 1:8)
🌱 The blessing of abiding is fruitfulness.
“That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season...” — Psalm 1:3
We are living stones, being built into something that displays the goodness and glory of God. (1 Peter 2:1–10; Isaiah 55:1–2)
Stay connected to the Vine.
The closer we abide in Christ, the more His life is reflected through ours. 🤍
