Staying Connected and Being Pruned: The Keys to Eternal Salvation and Fruitfulness
Core Truth: Everyone is connected to a “vine” of some sort, but only those who are truly in Christ and who remain connected to Him can experience genuine fruitfulness. And it is also only those who are willing to submit to the often painful process of divine pruning who will experiences that level of fruitfulness that delights the Father’s heart and validates one’s claim to being a true follower of Christ.
Scripture: John 15:1-2
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; and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit.
