John 15:1-7 - Abiding in the vine

1 "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you."

Jesus talks about the vines and branches. We are like the branches and have to be connected to the tree in order to bear fruit. We have no life in ourselves. We have to stay (abide – Gr. have your permanent home.) in Him. If His Words also abide in us, then what we ask will be done for us. Too many people nowadays don’t abide in the vines.
