What is the Fruit of John 15:1-17? John 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

John 15:2 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. John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. John 15:4 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. John 15:5 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. John 15:6 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. John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. John 15:10 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. John 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. John 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. John 15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another. Also consider: John 13:31-35 John 13:31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. John 13:32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. John 13:33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you. John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. The Fruit here is the fruit of the (Holy) Spirit Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Galatians 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Christians dont bear other Christians. Only the Holy Spirit bears Christians. Christians are born (bared) of the Holy Spirit John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Only God bears (gives the increase) Christians: 1Corinthians 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

Gods Purpose for Creating People Gods Purpose for Creating People is that He be glorified. Isaiah 43:7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created them for my glory, I have formed them; Yes, I have made them. We accomplish Gods Purpose for Creating People by bearing much fruit. John 15:5 Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples. The fruit that we bear is Spiritual Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Much Fruit producing is accomplished as we abide in Christ John 15:5 I am the vine, you are the branches: they that abide in me, and I in them, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. Keeping Christs commandments is Abiding in His Love John 15:10 If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

 Continuing in Love -To BE in Love with Him (God) Revelation 2:1-4 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand who walks in the midst of the seven golden lamp stands; I know your works, and your labor, and your patience, and how you can not bear them which are evil: and you have tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them liars: And have borne, and have patience, and for my name's sake have labored, and have not fainted. Nevertheless I have somewhat against you, because you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you are fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto you quickly, and will remove your lamp stand out of its place, except you repent. But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate. They that have an ear, let them hear what the Spirit says unto the churches; To them that overcomes will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. John 15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue you in my love. Gods Purpose for Creating People is that He be glorified. Gods Purpose is not: Preaching Programs Personalities Practices Problems Projects Praise Prayer

This is in no way, shape, form or fashion discounting Preaching, Programs, Personalities, Practices, Problems, Projects, Praise or Prayer! EACH HAS THEIR PLACE. Never-the-less: Gods Purpose for Creating People is that He be Glorified.

You give preeminence (priority) glory to whom You Love.

Colossians 1:18 And He (Christ- God The Son) is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence (priority). When You give preeminence (priority) to whom You Love, You Glorify them. 1st Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God. Glorifying God will result in Christs Joy remaining in You and a life of Full Joy! John 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. http://www.stephenscottministries.com/ The PURPOSE of this site is two-fold: 1.
