My friends “The Word is Jesus” and the Word saves us and we need the Word daily.  Now don’t miss this next part as the language here is so powerful, emphasizing how we are “NOT” saved by working but by receiving the Word, and how that Word planted in us then moves us into action.

John 15:5. Jesus sketches a picture of this new life as a flourishing vineyard.  “I am the Vine, and you are the branches. Get your life from Me. Then I will live in you and you will give much fruit. You can do nothing without Me.”

“Trials and Temptations are both inevitable, and God intends both to “Deepen Our Faith.”  Sometimes we face trials on the outside, and sometimes we face temptations on the inside, but how we understand them and respond to them has everything to do with our Faith.

The enemy’s activities bring sufferings to draw the Christian to sin and to discourage them from their calling and obedience to

Now the stage is set!  Remember the Plan of God is to have His Bride and Wife to be. Here’s where it (the Plan) is headed and that would be a “Bride without Spot or Wrinkle” Eph 5:27. “He has given Himself (Jesus) so that He can present the church as His radiant bride, unstained, unwrinkled, and unblemished—completely free from all impurity—holy and innocent before Him”.
