Much Fruit

From: Joel Osteen Ministries

John 15:5 "I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in Me and I in him will bear much fruit; without Me you can do nothing."

Have you ever really thought about the relationship between a branch and the vine? We don’t use these kinds of word pictures very much anymore, but think about it — if the branch is not attached to the vine, it withers and dies. The very life of the branch depends on being attached to the vine.

The same thing happens if we try to operate in this life without Jesus. Without Him, we can do nothing. We are cut from our life source. But when you remain in Him by daily connecting with Him through prayer, worship and study of the Word, then your life will be fruitful. You’ll walk in joy and blessing as Christ's ambassador.

Notice that this verse says "much fruit." Choose to remain in Him today; choose to make Him your top priority, and you’ll clearly see His hand guiding you in every area of your life!
