Do You Bear Fruit?-Paul Washer


“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. 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. 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. 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.  If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” John 15:1-11

The Steadfast Love of God….

“Oh, continue Your steadfast love to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright of heart.” Psalm 36:10

This verse very clearly illuminates the truth of the Sovereignty of our Great God. He continuously pours out His steadfast love on those who know Him (compare Romans 5:5). However, we know from Scripture, that in this is love, not that we first loved God, but that He first loved us and gave His Son to be a propitiation for our sins (1 John 4:10).

God initiates His love on us by sending His Son to die for us and then once we believe (which is also a gift from God Ephesians 2:8), He pours out His Love in us by the Spirit of God (Romans 5:5). This verse from Psalms confirms that God saves whomever He will. However, that love He shows us doesn’t stop at Salvation, it continues in the life of the Christian. Paul would pray in Ephesians that we would have the strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth of God’s love for us (Ephesians 3:18). And not only God the Fathers love for us, but also the love of Christ Jesus that surpasses knowledge, that we might be filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:19).

And what is this love that we should understand? Read more

True quotes from Godly Men #13

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)

To promulgate a dry creed, and go over certain doctrines, and expound and enforce them logically, but never to upbraid them for their sins, never to tell them of their danger, never invite them to a Savior with tears and entreaties – what a powerless work this is! We want laborers, not loiterers.

Now, see what the laborer brings with him. It is a sickle. His communications with the corn are sharp and cutting. He cuts right through, cuts the corn down, and casts it on the ground.

The man whom God means to be a laborer in His harvest must not come with delicate words and flattering doctrines concerning the dignity of human nature and the excellence of self-help and of earnest endeavors to rectify our lapsed condition and the like.

Such mealymouthedness may God curse, for it is the curse of this age. The honest preacher calls a sin a sin and a spade a spade and says to men, ‘You are ruining yourselves; while you reject Christ you are living on the borders of Hell, and ere long you will be lost to all eternity.

There shall be no mincing of the matter; you must escape from the wrath to come by faith in Jesus or be driven forever from God’s presence and from all hope of joy.’ The preacher must make his sermons cut. Our sickle is made on purpose to cut.

The Gospel is intended to wound the conscience and go right through to the heart, with the design of separating the soul from sin and self, as the corn is divided from the soil.
