The Fruit of Truth

5/7/2018

1 Comment

 
Scripture:  John 15:1-8
Picture
 1.  There is one true vine planted by the Husbandman. Isaiah 5:1-7
  • Jesus is the vine
  • God is the Gardner
  • Christians are living branches
2.  There are only two types of branches:
  • Dead branches = bear no fruit = takes away = no fruit
  • Living branches = bear fruit = cleanse/purges/prunes = brings forth more fruit
  • God has arranged for the conditions of fruitfulness to be possible, to progress over time, and to be permanent. Verse 2, 5, 8, 16
  • God expects fruitfulness from Israel and from the disciple of Jesus. 
3.  The fruitfulness of the branch is entirely determined by what it is abiding in.
  • A fruitful branch must abide in Jesus.
  • A fruitful branch must accept the corrective, purifying pruning of the Word of Jesus. Verses 3-4, 2 Tim 3:16-17, 1 Thess 2:13, Heb 4:12 
  • A fruitful branch must allow the Word of Jesus to dwell in him and abide in those words and pray. Verse 7, Col 3:16 
  • A fruitful branch must obey the Word of God. Phil 4:9, 2 Tim 4:2
4.  The fruitful branch gives evidence of its fruitfulness through its fruit! Gal 5:22-23, Eph 4:1-3, Mic 6:8  
  • Clean life: verse 3
  • Humble life: verse 5
  • Life of answered prayer: verse 7
  • Obedient life: verse 7
  • Consistent life:  verse 9
  • Loving life: verse 9-13
  • Joyful life: verse 11
  • Friend of God life: verse 14
  • Chosen and ordained life: verse 16
SO WHAT?
  • Is there obvious evidence of fruit in your life?
  • Are you absolutely confident that you are clinging to Jesus and His Word for fruitful living?
  • Are you willing to let God prune away the dead things in your life to make you more fruitful?
  • Do you need to seek fruitfulness in God’s one true vine?

Everyone wants to develop the trait of truthfulness. But, honestly, being truthful is never a facile ambition to attain. A person must have knowledge, understanding, and wisdom- for obtaining the fruit of truthfulness. Here, the pastor- Jamey Hunt, has revealed some facts about the fruit of truth. I would like to tell that the person who wants to procure the definition of love, peace, joy, patience, kindness, gentleness, and self-control- should first take the necessary measures that are required for being truthful. Consult a proficient life coach is highly indispensable in this state of affair.
