“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.”

John 15:5

This is not the only scripture passage that talks about living lives that bear fruit. Galatians 5:22-23 lists the fruit of the spirit as “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” John 15 tells us the key to having this kind of fruit in our lives. It is the natural result of living a life that is vitally connected to Jesus. Just as branches cannot live and bear fruit without staying connected to the vine, we cannot do so without staying connected to Jesus. Whether we realize it or not, we are all seeking a life that is marked by the fruit of the Spirit. Jesus is the key to that life. In what ways are you choosing to stay vitally connected to Jesus? What things are trying to distract you and steal your devotion? Ask God for wisdom in choosing that which helps you to remain in Him.
