## I AM: the True Vine (Jn15)
1. Abide in the Vine [(v4-6)](# "ref")
1. Abide in Bearing Fruit [(v7-8)](# "ref")
1. Abide in His Love [(v9-10)](# "ref")

---
I am the **true vine**, 
and my Father is the **vinedresser**.

Every branch in me that does **not** bear fruit 
he **takes away**, and

every branch that **does** bear fruit 
he **prunes**, that it may bear **more** fruit.

[John 15:1-2 (ESV)](# "ref")

---
Already you are **clean** because of 
the **word** that I have spoken to you.

**Abide** in me, and I in you.

As the **branch** cannot bear fruit by itself, 
unless it abides in the **vine**, 
neither can you, unless you abide in **me**.

[John 15:3-4 (ESV)](# "ref")

---
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**.

[John 15:5 (ESV)](# "ref")

---
If anyone does not abide in me, 
he is **thrown away** like a branch and **withers**;

and the branches are gathered, 
thrown into the **fire**, and burned.

and abide in his love.
