Jesus said that the "branches" which do not abide in Him will "wither" and be "thrown into the fire and burned." That's a lot of symbolism right there! What is His message to us as Christians? Does it mean that we might somehow be in danger of losing our salvation and heaven in the bargain? Or, is Jesus saying something completely different? We can find a companion passage in 1 Corinthians which might help us answer that question!
