Just like dry branches
Every branch in me that bears no fruit he cuts away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes to make it bear even more (John 15, 2)
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that bears no fruit he cuts away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes to make it bear even more.You are pruned already, by means of the word that I have spoken to you. Make your home in me, as I make mine in you. As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself, but must remain part of the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me, with me in him, bears fruit in plenty; for cut off from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is like a branch that has been thrown away – he withers; these branches are collected and thrown on the fire, and they are burnt. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask what you will and you shall get it. It is to the glory of my Father that you should bear much fruit, and then you will be my disciples.’ (John 15, 1-8)
If we are united to Christ our life is fruitful, it really does bear fruit; if, on the other hand, we are detached from Him, we do not bear fruit and we are like dry branches, destined to be burnt in the fire. What were the fruits of your latest actions?
