Discuss John 15 Page 23

Some people think he is talking about Jesus Christ but I don 't think so I think he is talking about a nation of people.

this verse is the verse that got me to repent.

Is GOD predesind us? NO! Jesus is talking abunt the Gospil good news john 3 16 GOD choos all of us! We have free choose. GOD choos all man to be saved! But it is ur asnswer to GOD 's calling. GOD Bless you!

God has Chosen me to be the love of his life and to bring followers in to his kingdom so that we all can be saved. No hate in our hearts only but love and saviors in the father and son of the holy name

I BELIEVE IT IT IS JUST AS TRUE AS JOHN 3 16 OR ANY OTHER OF THE INSPIRED SCRIPTURES JESUS MEANT WHAT HE SAID THAT S THE WAY TO BE HIS FRIEND AND BE SAVED HE GAVE THE HOLY GHOST TO THEM THAT OBEY HIM HE IS THE AUTHOR OF EVERLASTING SALVATION TO THEM THAT OBEY HIM AMEN

John15 15 make us to understand what we are in God. Jesus said we're not servant but friend. Does give us insight of His plans and His love for us which we should embrace with totality of heart

Valerie Gee it simply means that we should love each other as we love ourself Shayesteh He is simply refering to the Holy spirit which he sent after he departed from earth as the comforter

Valerie Gee s John Chapter 15 comment on 2 18 2014 9 52am What does it mean that a man should lay down his life for his friends Valerie Gee s It mean you have a friend in Jesus But the real question is does Jesus have a friend in you

What does it mean that a man should lay down his life for his friends

What of a man s love of God Would not a man s love of God be greater than everything else Why would God suggest laying down one s life for friends is the greatest love

I believe the fruit referred to in Song of Solomon 7:13 may be the same as the treasures referred to in Matthew 13:52. Jesus said that scribe who becomes a disciple of the Kingdom is like one who brings out of his storehouses treasures he has laid up, both new and old. The maiden, likened unto the Bride of Christ tells her beloved she has laid up for him fruits new and old. Therefore, we, as the Bride of Christ and the disciples of the Kingdom must lay up fruit, both new and old, for our Beloved. What is this fruit that we must lay up, then ? Quite a few references to spiritual fruit can be found ( Galatians 5:22-23; John 15:1-17; Matthew 7:15-20...). However, I think the mystery lies in the new and the old. Jesus wants us to seek it out, to decipher the parable for ourselves. What is the new fruit and what is the old fruit ? When we have dug deep we will discover the answer and can lay up all manner of those pleasant fruits for our Master.

We are not worthy for chosen by God, why because by birth we are all sinners, there is no goodness in us....for example, if we want to buy anything for us we will select, elect and chose good thing and buy..... there is no any good thing in us but god has chosen us, this is Gods Love towards us.

Who is Jesus referring to when he says the "COMFORTER - - - he shall testify of me" (Jesus)in Verse 26.

God is good all the time for he is the only friends you need when all others fall short .for he we place them there when he thinks you need them ...when he sends them on your bad days .that is him sending you a blessing in his eye letting you know who is in control. ..him every day all the time.

Jesus is the definition of friend.

friend [ frend ]
noun 1. a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.

We are all God's children, so we are attached to him, we are affectionately made in His image and for personal regard he gave His only begotten Son.
Allowed Jesus to be a friend to you today confess with your mouth believe in your heart that Jesus died on the cross for us. And that you are never alone Jesus is always with us!

I thank God the almighty for giving us His only begotten Son to layed down His life for us.

Here in John Chp.15 Our Lord teach us to love not hate, the will hate us because we're not of the world.

Pray for me

Just as truth with always have lies at opposite end of the continuum to have to contend with, so also those who love the truth in Christ Jesus will have those who want to make them suffer and will resist their best efforts. Jesus once said in John 15:18, "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you."

Here in John chp. 15 God is telling followers of Christ that we r going to b tempted in our daily walk. Because they hated Jesus therefore they r going to hate us.but we must smile and continue to show love to fellow brothers and sister.for this is right in the eye sights of our lord and savior Jesus Christ.

It was the AGAPE kind of LOVE that Jesus showed us. The highest form of LOVE that save us from the penalty of sin.

Is there an Official ON LINE SITE I can get involved with in the KING JAMES BIBLE (Not the perverted changed versions, but the 1611 KJV?
I am Self Learned with only THE HOLY SPIRIT teaching me. I have had a life long fear of Adding or Taking Away from God's HOLY BREATHED WORD, and for that conviction I am without any church, as all add and take away. I was CATHOLIC but GOD Reached down for me in love ( 2 Peter 3:9)and I heard and was saved on or about 10 January,1997 here at my home in Rota, Spain. At that time I was attending church at a fundamental Independent Baptist Church (BETHEL) at Rota, Spain, but I heard the Pastor changing and adding to God's Word, and now I am not in church, and that is not good for any soul. But when the pastor says GRAPE JUICE where God Breathed the word WINE into the mind of the recorder to record, WHAT authority does any man have to change God's Word? (The Wine thing is in most Baptist Churches seemingly of greater concern that the saving of souls, and that is so sad).I'll be 70 years old come 24 February, and soon I'll meet my time spoken of in Hebrews 9:27, but I am saved, and that not because I deserve salvation, because I am by far the very least of all of God's Children. GRACE plus NOTHING that is how I was saved, PRAISE GOD.

Praise the Lord..God is good in revealing The deepness of His word to us. In verse 1,Jesus says Iam the true vine, so that means there is a false vine also..As believers in Christ we must know that the world is the other vine that leads to destruction.In this life, When we found ouselves not connecting to God 's word we dont realise that we are connecting to the world. Bearing fruit is all about remaining in Christ and God can only purge us if we remain in the true vine.

You knw we ask so many thngs as christians,not realise that the word of God is practical(i.e we ask Gd to help us to bear fruits in our faith) wherelse only God wants us to remain in Hm continuasley.This verse awakens me into being practical to the word of Gd,nd stop asking what is already there,the only thng left is to find a way of getting it.Jesus did not say if u attend church services yull bear fruit,or if you pray much u wil bear much fruit instead He said abide in me first,thats the secret.

John 15:5 FOR WITHOUT ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING.
He that stays in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.

John 15:4 No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither CAN YOU BEAR FRUITS UNLESS YOU REMAIN IN ME.

GOD CREATED US FOR HIS PLEASURE AND HIS JOY AND HIS PURPOSE. GOD IS HIGHLY HAPPILY GLORIFIED IF HUMAN BEING WILL FUNCTION FOR THE PURPOPOSE FOR WHICH HE HAD CREATED US. When the revelation about Jeremiah 10;23 was given me, I woke up from sleep and started to examine my self. The prophesy is all about Christ Jesus
John 6:38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.
Revelation 4;11
King James Bible
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Since Christ loves us to the extent of dying for our sins, we who have been saved and redeemed back to God as a result of Christ's vicarious death are to recicrocate His love. We are expected from the point of knowing the Lord to live a concecrated life, a life totally dedicated to pleasing Him. It is said that one good turn deserves another. The only proof of our salvation and acceptance of Christ is our day to day right living, watchfulness, evangelistic zeal and a life of prayer. In summary, a true christian must live a life of obedience and service to the One he/she claims to believe in and love. "If you love me, keep my commandments"( John 15:14)."But why do you call me 'Lord, Lord' and not do the things which I say?"( Luke 6:46). Chrit will soon come to take those who are trully His and who are waiting for Him.( 2nd Timothy 2:19). May the Lord help us to repent of all sins, accept Christ and receive the grace to please Him in all things in Jesus' name,Amen.

John 15. is the verse which is very true and it shows us the right way to the everlasting life to the people of all the nations.

It gives us the formular we need to apply so as bear fruits in our christian lives.As we remain in Him,His life flows in us and through us thus causing fruitfulness.

I would like to comment on the question about the verse JOHN 15:13/14. You asked where the guidance to this is. He IS the guidance, he gave us the holy spirit to guide us. He never said it would be easy, you will be tested. Many will be called, but few will be chosen,. Many people will fall. Where I am from there are/were many brave souls who have laid there life down for their friends. It is a hard road, but keep your eye on the promise, God does NOT lie. In the beginning there was the Word and the Word was God, and the word became flesh. Think of that, he came to give us the truth and the way, he came to to sacrifice himself to save us and give us eternal life. Is that not worth sacrifising your old ways for? The more you read his word and try to live up to his commands, you will see and FEEL it is the way. He is the definition of LOVE.

What comfort to know it is not "God's will that any should perish, but all should come to repentance"; yet what a challenge it is to know He has given the responsibility to us to take the WORD and good new to them; --- now pray about it and God will give us His harvest, which brings joy!
