Many do not want to hear this, but it is true according to the Gospel of John, in chapter 15: that Jesus is the True Vine and believers are the branches. Jesus says there are two types of believers; those who produce fruit and those who produce no fruit. Both will get pruned by God the Father. One, (those who bear fruit) will be pruned so that they produce more fruit; the other (who bear no fruit) will be cut off and are only good to be gathered into bundles and be burned. These are those who profess to be Christians but do not abide in Christ. To abide in Christ means to pursue Him, follow Him, Love Him and obey His commands. They apparently are ‘Christians’ in name only. They are not into reading the Word of God, studying the Scriptures, renewing their minds, sharing their faith with the lost, and developing a relationship with Christ. The Fruit Jesus is speaking of involves the Fruit of the Spirit, (Gal. 5:22-23) and means we are growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus and becoming more and more like Him. God bless.
