Discuss John 15 Page 24

in Matthew 28 i can compare to john 15:5 .that [father{God} +son{Jesus}+The Holly spirit]=JESUS. no one can say that i love Jesus i don't love god while Jesus is God & is Holy Spirit.

What happens after the second birth is that the Holy Spirit fills our spirit (ie. our spirit is merged inside the Holy Spirit).In other words we are baptisised by Holy Spirit and this is what is refered in John 15:4 as Christ abiding in us. After this, our spirits are expected to start absorbing the Holy Spirit in them by doing Godly things ie. studying the word, endless prayers etc and this is reffered as Christ abiding in us.

I think this verse is talking about evangelism. Goin out 2 win souls for the kingdom and causing them to remain. By doing so,whatsoever we ask of the father shall be given us.

We are his branches only if we bare fruit. This is fruit of the spirit saved for the vintage of the wrath of God. If you have fruit of the flesh it is cast away and your branch is cut off. If you have a religious spirit then you bare fruit of the flesh. Not suitable for the last vintage. God saves the best for last.

Blessed are those that lay down their lives for others. You have a circumcised heart because of the authority that has been given to you. So you know what it is like to have such authority. I have the authority to restore the peace of your heart and help restore your life to innocence. To be absent from the body is to be present with The Lord.

Having seen a couple of my friends lay down their lives at my command I have to say that john 15:13/14 fails to consider me having to face these brave souls families. where is the guidance for THIS?

Blessed sabbath to all.

Jesus died for us all.

We all feel loved when we receive gifts from those we love; could be our Mom, Dad, Boy/Girlfriend, Spouses, Aunties/Uncles etc but you see my friend the Greatest Love is expressed by giving what you value ....
we all know John3:16.

This is the greatest expression of love that Jesus showed. To die for your friends is one thing, but to die for those who are your enemies or who are not your friends is just awe-inspiring. Jesus willingly sacrificing his life was one of the most moving and loving expressions the world has known.

i feel this passage is backed by john 15:13 and as a reminder but to also deny ourselves for our loved ones which is includes the enemy as we are not partial in love nor giving or protection.

In my limited understanding of Roman 9:16, the Apostle Paul was building on the Words of our Lord Jesus Christ written in John 15:5. Indeed, it is not on our effort that we are successful but the mercy of God working in us.

If ever men in a church are starting to step down from preaching then God shall choose a man among them to ordain him to preach in that church because it is His will that the fruit in that church should remain ( John 15:16) and with God nothing shall be impossible ( Luke 1:37) just as how Saul was told as His chosen vessel to bear His name ( Acts 9:15).

deep but also our bonde with God, how he uses us to reach out to one an other. in time of hard ship... Ephesians 6:5-6-7-8..for a battle is nearly here my Visions are getting clear. to all who see them to we must unite! prayer to one an other how we bring blessings to our self. may I see you all who fear the lord our mighty god. for he is the alpha and the omega amen!

(Verse 13) "And here is how to measure it-the greatest love is shown when people lay down their lives for their friends." In the spiritual sense, this is talking about how Jesus (God in the flesh) loves us. He laid down his life to save us. Let me say it this way. Our relationship with Jesus is based on friendship.

If it was based on the Law of Moses, as some claim, we would always be condemned for our sins, preventing us from being God's friends. That is, the law condemns, a friend does not.

The friendship of Jesus covers any and all sins we will ever commit. It is a new covenant, with its basis the death of Jesus as our stand-in. He was willing to die for us because he loves us, and wants us as friends. This means that he covers our shortcommings, not based on the law's demands, but on love.

I am not saying there is no law. There has to be for us to know right from wrong ( Romans 7). But what I am saying is that our friendship with Jesus delivers us from the law by ending its administration over us. Now we have a new life in Christ, and are free to obey him out of our gratitude for what he has done for us.

May the Lord bless you and keep you.

Our creator who is the vine supplies us with all necessary nourishment, nourishments to stay strong, firm and alive. I now wonder why some things such as my ***uality can be a challenge for me, seeing how I value abiding in the vine.

John 1519, john 16:8, john 16:11, John 16:20,I am looking for something about if you are of the world and god and jesus is not. trying to say that with in the world men of the world will control you what you think like chip.

The word here talks about the word as a live wire of the soul,humanity thought that they can be clean by works but no,the word is the only thing that clean.

I take the word of God as it reads, If God say He chooses us, that's what He means. There is no explanation on that. What we cannot understand, does not make the Word void, nor change the direct words of God.

Jesus is lord.

John 15:16 is really saying, pray only to the father through his only begotton son and the father will give.no other can help like so called saints they are holy people but not saviours.

GOD indeed is with us, is just that we have to thank Him for what He Had done in our Lifes, He is alone GOD, worthy to be praised, even in times of sorrow, sickness. We must not stop praising him, because the word Praise for me is to tell something on how it is, meaning let us Praise GOD, he knows our need, remember what the bible says in the book of JOHN 15:7 i quote if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you shall ask everything and it shall be granted to us. Remember wht JESUS said to his desciples in JOHN 14:14 i quote what ever that you shall ask in JESUS name it will be given to u. Brothers and Sisters let us seek the kingdom of GOD and its righteousness and laa things shall follow or added to us. Amen.

The whole chapter 15 is very powerful as Jesus outlined what we should do to receive from God-that is we being in Him and His words staying in us so that we can bear the fruits of the Holy Spirit Whom He sent from the father to assist us. Jesus stressed the need of loving one another just as he loves us and gave his life for us. This means that the highest Spiritual Gift is love and we can only attain the level of Love when we stay in Jesus. The Holy Ghost is to help us to get to the dimension of love, then we become one with Him and the father is glorified that we bear much fruit for love is the core of the fruit. Believers should submit to the lordship of the Helper to sustain them in Jesus the highest revelation and love of God to humankind

Great scripture which has comforted my grieveing and bleeding heart right now. Amen and glory be to God.

we must bear fruit..we must move on..whatever the circumstances we fce in life..we must remain in him

Hey sister Leotha, i most abundantly and ggraciously agree for he chose us and it is a honor, for he said many are called but a few are chosen and i am so thank full that i answered his call.for my cup runneth over and i thank him for His mercy and wondefull grace. In Jesus Name.
