Abiding in Jesus Christ

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”- John 15:5,8

We can often times get caught up in programs, methods, and curriculum surrounding the subject of discipleship. After all, Jesus told us to go into all nations and make disciples. We, as Christians, should place great importance on the subject.

But, when I read the verses above, I’m reminded that the most basic way to both BE a disciple and help to MAKE disciples is to simply abide in Christ. When we do this, we bear fruit – and the right kind of fruit.

Let’s abide in Him today…and all days!
