Apart From Me

John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.


God is sovereign! He does not need us! We are totally dependent on him! Christ is the mediator between God and man, the beginning of life, the very essence of sustaining life! We must bear fruit! It is a command!

John 1:1-4 

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God
2 He was in the beginning with God. 
3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

John 6:33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." 

1Tim.2:5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus

Christ chose......

John 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

While we were sinners......

Romans 5:8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us

Lord God, through Your mercy You have sent Christ to save the souls of men. We honor You with praise when we should honor You with much fruit! Forgive us, Amen.
