Fruit That Will Last

  • 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.

God sent His one and only Son, Jesus, into a perishing, sinful world that He loved so that He could save them and give them eternal life (John 3:16-17).

 

Please understand that Jesus took every sin in the world and suffered God’s punishing wrath (Isaiah 53:4-6) so that those who believe in Him would be atoned for and become the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21).

 

After Jesus received a drink on the cross, He said, “It is finished,” and then He died (John 19:13). Jesus had finished His work atoning for the world’s sins.

 

Jesus rose from the dead three days after conquering sin and death, and He promised His disciples that the Holy Spirit would come into the world to them, and He was taken up into heaven (Acts 1:8-9).

 

On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came into the world like a mighty, rushing wind on the disciples (Acts 2:1-4).
