There is something sobering and beautiful about the words of Jesus in John 15. He lifts up a picture that is both familiar and powerful: "I Am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever abides in Me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing."

Abiding in Christ signifies a deep, enduring connection with Him. It implies more than a fleeting awareness or occasional engagement. It involves a committed relationship where believers actively cultivate their faith. This relationship is characterised by reliance on Christ for spiritual nourishment, much as a branch depends on the vine for life giving sap.
