STAY WITH ME AND I STAY WITH YOU

In John 15:5-7 Jesus explains to His disciples how important it is to be connected to Him. Like branches to the vine, He promises that if we stay connected with Him we will bear much fruit. By praying, reading, listening, and meditating on God's Word, our spiritual being comes to life. On the other hand, if we are not connected to Jesus, our mental and spiritual being will wither and eventually die.

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you."
