John 15:1-8
Pastor

Slide2
John
15:1-3
1
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
2
He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.
3
You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
Slide3
God as the Gardener:
Desires fruitful branches
Cuts off unfruitful branches
Prunes fruitful branches to bear even more fruit
Slide4
God as the Gardener:
Desires the branches to produce fruit
Loving obedience, Justice and Righteousness
Isaiah
5:-2,7
1
I will sing for the one I love a song about his vineyard: My loved one had a vineyard on a fertile hillside.
2
He dug it up and cleared it of stones and planted it with the choicest vines. He built a watchtower in it and cut out a winepress as well. Then he looked for a crop of good grapes, but it yielded only bad fruit…
7
The vineyard of the LORD Almighty is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are the garden of his delight. And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard cries of distress.
Slide5
God as the Gardener:
Desires the branches to produce fruit
Loving obedience, Justice and Righteousness
Fruit
of the
Spirit
Galatians 5:22-23
22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23
gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Slide6
God as the Gardener:
Cuts off unfruitful branches
Not speaking of Christians who have lost their salvation. Rather professing
Christians who are not genuinely saved.
John
10:28-29
28
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.
29
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand
.
As seen in verse 5. There will be fruit in the life of a genuine believer
Slide7
God as the Gardener:
Prunes fruitful branches to bear even more fruit
to purify” – to
purify in motive or life
“to cleanse” – to remove things that prevent or obstruct fruitfulness
Pruning is painful
Slide8
John 15:4-5
4
Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
You need to remain in Jesus in order to produce fruit
.
If you remain in Jesus you will produce
fruit.
Slide9
John 15:6
6
If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
Those that did not remain in Jesus (professed faith, but produced no fruit) will face eternal punishment (vs 6)
Slide10
John 15:7, 9-10
7
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given
you…
9
"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
10
If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.
Slide11
Remaining in Jesus means:
To believe in Him as your Savior (vs 4)
To continue or persevere in believing (vs 7)
To follow God’s commandments in loving obedience (vs 9-10)
Slide12
John 15:8
8
This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples
