Bible Verse of The Day – 9-9-24

John 15:5 (NKJV) 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

As we grow and mature in our walk with Christ, we should begin to understand the importance of these words spoken by Christ.

Just as with John the Baptist, who stated that “He must increase, and I must decrease” we also should see Christ increase in our lives while we decrease.

He must be given pre-imminence in our lives.

As we learn of Him, and we better understand what it means to put our faith in Him, He will become more prevalent in all we do. And we will realize that without Him we can do nothing.

In fact, knowing that we are powerless apart from Him, we will begin to understand that our life without Him is meaningless.

It is this realization that helps keep us humble and helps drive haughtiness from us.

We begin to see the sinfulness that we wallowed in prior to Christ saving us. And we understand that even now we fall far short.

It is the mercy of God that saves us.

It is the mercy of God that causes us to see the reality of who we are without Him.

And it is the mercy of God that rescues us from the pit of hell, which we all rightfully deserve.

Gaining this understanding will change the way we think for the rest of our lives.

And it will better equip us to be who God has called us to be.

May we all walk in this truth, allowing God to use us to bring glory and honor to Him in all we do.
