Morning Inspiration with Pastor Merritt
The branch does not produce fruit for the vine, but the branch bears the fruit produced by the vine. The mark of every true follower of Jesus Christ is fruit. There is no such thing in the teachings of Jesus as a non-fruit bearing believer. The Christian life is a fruit bearing life.
Do you know why this is so important to understand? If you are not a follower of Jesus Christ and the reason is you said to yourself, “I can’t live a Christian life. It is too hard.” You are half right. You can’t live a Christian life. Not because it is too hard, but because it is impossible. Only one person has ever lived the Christian life and that is Jesus.
Jesus gave His life for us so that He could live His life through us. When you are connected to the root you will bear fruit that will never rot, but will only ripen into a life worth living, because you have the right connection.
