I Am The True Vine page 9 by ric gustafson
There is only one way for the branch to bear fruit and that is unbroken communion with the vine. Only of the vine can fruit come. Jesus tells us to abide in him and it is a wonderful privilege. In order for us to be a true branch and to bear fruit than we must abide in Christ the Vine. Abiding is an act of the will and our whole heart. We need command and obedience to master and fill our whole being. We need to be searched, exposed, pruned and cleansed. We need to be cleansed of self will and self confidence. Jesus calls us away from ourselves and our own strength to himself and his strength. We need to surrender our soul to let Jesus work in it as the true Vine.
