—John 15:1-11
by: Dale Rood.
This passage demonstrates another key principle of faith. It is critical because of the way God works in our lives. Using Paul’s analogy from 1 Corinthians 3:6-7, we can plant and water, but it is God who brings the increase. The things of faith come by staying connected to God. Jesus put it this way: “Abide in me” (v.4). Let the Holy Spirit move through you. Stay rooted and built up in Him (Colossians 2:7). Learn to move in the unrestricted rhythms of grace. Let God’s Word become spiritual food for you. Expect to be surprised as you release yourself into the Lord’s hands and discover His power and His love moving through you to affect those around you.
