Living by the Word of God, the only source of everlasting Life, being pruned of sin and obedient to His Commandments, shows His Faithfulness through those who are holy Christians and blessed branches of the True Vine, both physically and spiritually productive in all our endeavors, generating profitable fruits bearing new seed, and being willing to continue the growth of God's Kingdom, in His Vineyard (Deut. 28:1-14, John 1:1-4). Our sufficiency is from the LORD, in Christ Jesus, in whom our faith rests, abiding in the True Vine, who keeps us revitalized to constantly bear fruits of the Spirit, which are needed for the conversion and discipling of souls, to produce more Laborers for the glorious harvest (2 Cor. 3:2-6, Gal. 5:22-23).
Besides, being rooted and grounded in love for God through our selfless sacrifice in His service shows that Christ dwells in our hearts by faith, through the gift of the Holy Spirit revealed in our daily activities - for, without the Father's Word forming us and filling our lives with His presence, we would be nothing and nothing else can keep us fruitful for God's glory, since, "all things were made through Him" (John 1:3, Gen. 2:7, Eph. 3:14-17).
PRAYER: Thank You, Lord Jesus Christ, for abiding in me and keeping me sustained as a branch alive in You, the True Vine, which makes me fruitful as I spread the Good News of Salvation where sent and equip people for service in Your vineyard;
Amen.
From John 15:4-5
