How do you live a fruitful Christian life? Jesus says only by being connected to Him, the true vine, can we ever bear fruit--in fact, "apart from Me you can do nothing"! Now that's a strong statement.. of course we can "do things", but will they have value? Will they be fruitful in any eternal sense? No--not without abiding in Him, and being connected to the source of life will we, as branches, be truly fruitful!
