Faithful Friends of Jesus?

John 15:1-17

Context: Seven signs and seven “I am” statements   (15:1)

• John writes - so we would believe and have life  (20:30-31) 
• And Jesus prepares His disciples to really live (ch13-17)

To really live, means remaining/abiding in Jesus (15:1-8)

•  bearing much fruit
•  in prayerful dependence on God
•  and bringing glory to God the Father

Remaining in Jesus means remaining in His love, as friends  (15:9-16)

• Which will be seen in obedience to Jesus
• in love for one another, and
• in prayerful dependence on God

Are you really living? As a faithful and fruitful friend of Jesus?
