LDS Study Session seeks to generate reflection and about areas in the Restored Gospel. Whether it's Come Follow Me, a General Conference talk or a recent Gospel Topic, hopefully you'll find something to keep the Spirit of Christ in your life.
Join in for a further discussion about this week's Come Follow Me lesson, focusing today on how Christ is the true Vine and our relationship with that analogy.
Heber C Kimball: We are like a limb that is alive in a tree; John 15:1-8 yes, everyone that are Latter-day Saints; we are united or should be as the heart of one man, 2 Sam. 19:14 and no man will be saved and gathered with Christ except they are grafted into him, for they must receive the life that flows from him in order to be exalted with him. It is upon the same principle that the graft that is put into a tree receives life from the tree into which it is engrafted. It is necessary that we should all be alive in Christ, and we ought to partake of his attributes and also of the attributes of his Father; then we become one with Christ as he is one with the Father. John 17:21-22 We never can enjoy the lifegiving influences of the Spirit of God except we live and practice our religion, always abiding in the vine, for as the branch cannot bring forth or produce except it remain connected with the tree, John 15:4 so we cannot increase in light and knowledge unless we keep alive in Christ.
