Jesus And Christians Bearing Fruit (John 15:1-11)

Speaker: Reverend Joseph Poon

Website: http://www.bpcwa.org.au/

QUESTIONS

Q1. Why does God prune us?

Q2. By what means does God do it?

Q3. What can we learn and how should we respond to God's pruning?

Q4. Why did the Lord Jesus bring up this relationship between Himself as the Vine and believers as branches attached to Him?

Q5. What does abiding in Jesus mean? Does it mean we can lose our salvation if we did not abide in Him? Prove from Scriptures.

Q6. What should we learn about our relationship with Him though He is not seen physically with us?

Q7. While the Lord Jesus is not physically with us now, what does He want our lives to be like from chapters 14, and 15?

Q8. Why did He command us to abide in Him? Does it mean every believer will bear much fruit?

Q9. Who would bear much fruit? Why?

Q10. Why is it that if Christ's Word abides in us, He will surely answer our prayers?

Q11. Should we then ask anything we will, and God's answer would be "yes, no, or maybe"? Why? How would one who abide in Christ pray?

Q12. What is our love towards other believers to be like?

Q13. What is the characteristic of being Christ's disciple and friend?

Q14. How do you view serving the Lord? How is it linked to God's answer of prayers again?

Bible Passage (KJV): John 15:1-25

1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

A True Prophet (1 Samuel 3:11-21) 

Speaker: Reverend Joseph Poon

Website: http://www.bpcwa.org.au/

====

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Samuel 3:11-21  

11 And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.  

12 In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.  

13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.  14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.  

15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision.  

16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.  

17 And he said, What is the thing that the Lord hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee.  

18 And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the Lord: let him do what seemeth him good.  

19 And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.  

20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord.  

21 And the Lord appeared again in Shiloh: for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord.

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Peter 4:1-6  – (⁠00:00⁠)

QUESTIONS 

Q1. What are some of the will of the flesh and will of the Gentiles? What must I remember? – (06:52)

=====  

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Peter 4:1-6  

1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;  

2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.  

3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:  

4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:  

5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.  

6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

CHAPTER IX OF FREE WILL

1. GOD hath endued the will of man with that natural liberty, that it is neither forced, nor by any absolute necessity of nature determined, to good or evil.1

1. Matt. 17:12; James 1:14; Deut 30:19.

2. Man, in his state of innocency, had freedom and power to will and to do that which is good and well pleasing to God:2 but yet mutably, so that he might fall from it.3

2. Eccl. 7:29; Gen. 1:26.

3. Gen. 2:16-17; Gen. 3:6.

3. Man, by his fall into a state of sin, hath wholly lost all ability of will to any spiritual good accompanying salvation;4 so as a natural man, being altogether averse from that good,5 and dead in sin,6 is not able, by his own strength, to convert himself, or to prepare himself thereunto.7

4. Rom. 5:6; Rom. 8:7; John 15:5.

5. Rom. 3:10,12.

6. Eph. 2:1,5; Col. 2:13.

7. John 6:44,65; Eph. 2:2-5; I Cor. 2:14; Tit. 3:3-5.

4. When God converts a sinner, and translates him into the state of grace, he freeth him from his natural bondage under sin,8 and by his grace alone enables him freely to will and to do that which is spiritually good:9 yet so as that, by reason of his remaining corruption, he doth not perfectly nor only will that which is good, but doth also will that which is evil.10
