"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." [John 15:4]
Prayer is our first priority, to abide in the Lord Jesus!
Lets look at the promises He has given us from the passage above: When we abide in Him and He in us, we bear much fruit! He further qualified the conditions for bearing fruit a little later in the 15th Chapter of John's Gospel and gives clarification as to what it means for Him to abide in us.
"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples." [John 15:7-8]
The IF conditions, for bearing much fruit, are:
- Our abiding in Him and
- His Words abiding in us. Jesus can not abide in us, if His Word does not abide in us.
