"Abide in Me"   =   the Vine and the Branches - John 15:1-10

  For a very long time I wanted to know what
            "A New Life in Christ" looks like

  I found the answer in the book by Charles Stanley The Wonderful Spirit
            Filled Life. Nelson, 1992.   [ = chapter 5 "My Life as a Branch" ]

• this chapter placed my feet on the right path. Thank You Jesus!
  Thank you Dr. Stanley!

  The Answer [ = Gem ]: "Abide in Me ... that you bear much fruit"
• the key is to undestand what it means to "Abide in Me"
• branches were not designed to produce fruit
• they were designed to bear fruit produced through them!

  If you have been blessed, please share your thoughts with me!
