NASB | John 15:4 "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 15:4 "Remain in Me, and I [will remain] in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself without remaining in the vine, neither can you [bear fruit, producing evidence of your faith] unless you remain in Me. |
Subject: How is this done? |
Bible Note: You are correct when you say this is done by the Holy Spirit. However, faith, obedience, fellowship, etc. ARE the fruit of the Spirit. We only BEAR the fruit; it is the Holy Spirit who PRODUCES it. Neither we ourselves nor our good works can ever PRODUCE the fruit of the Spirit. Be careful not to confuse the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit. |
