John 15:1 - 15:8

Gospel of JohnSteve Gregg
In this passage, Steve Gregg discusses the symbolism of the true vine and its branches in John 15:1-8. He explains that the purpose behind this imagery is to emphasize that every member of the church is a part of one organism, one body, and one vine. Furthermore, the fruit produced by the branches represents the character of Christ exemplified by love, peace, and joy, which is only possible through the Holy Spirit dwelling within believers. Gregg concludes by noting that bearing fruit is essential to salvation and approaching the Father in the name of Jesus requires being spiritually discerned through the revelation of the Holy Spirit.
