John Chapter 15 Discussion Page 11

"God Is So Good"

help me to know the meaning of verse 6.

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.

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.

great word

this kind of love has never been once exemplified by any man. Only Jesus is love indeed. He who gave up his life has given up all. What else would he not give? Nothing can be more dare!

I am taking command of verse 7 of John 15, for at this time I need this promise of our Lord to help me find housing.

The Greek word here in verse 2 for "taketh away" is "airo" which would have better been translated as "lifted up". When a vine grows, it grows vigorously, through barriers of all sorts, even dirt. When a good "husbandman" observes that a branch has been smothered under dirt, he will "lift it up" out of dirt because he realizes that it is dirt that causes it not to bear fruits. How many of us should be grateful that our Husbandman, after recognizing our fruitlessness, also recognized the dirt we were emerged under, that was causing that fruitlessness. And instead of cutting us away, like the world does, He "lifted us up" out of the dirt we were in! So this text teaches us that when Christ is our True Vine, or Lord of our life, we go from "Lifted up"(verse 2), to "Letting go"(verse 2), to "Leaning on"(verses 3-5). But it's all by his grace, not by our strength! -Apostle Mardia Scott Jr.

When the Paraclete comes, whom the Father will send, He will guide you into all truth. The Comforter or Paraclete is the Holy Spirit, and He takes the Word of God, and makes Jesus known to us. He does not speak of Himself, but He points us to Jesus by coming along side of us, and indwelling us. The Holy Spirit seals us until the day of redemption, and testifies to us that we are the children of God.

I'm getting a little confused here about who actually Jesus meant by the comforter? Can someone explain to me please? Thanks.

I love this chapter.

As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love; This verse is awesome Jesus the son is so unselfish that he wants to share his Heavenly father with us if we abide in him and he said he and the father will abide in us, we shall have everlasting life, what a mighty God we serve. Also to add some gravy to the rice and meat; He said I have chosen you; we have not chosen him. To sum it all up in a nut shell, he said I love you as the father has loved me. As I am writing this comment it gives me such a feeling that I cannot explain. 'Oh How I love the Lord!’

This kind of love with the Spiritual implication was demonstrated literary. It is incomprehensible.It requires a continual sober reflection if we the Christians must live out our faith genuinely.

I like the hold book of John.

Let us abide in the Lord and we shall bear fruits. Let us also abide in the word for it does sanctify us and whatever we ask we shall receive. We are not of the world so that they can love us.

God is great I love Him so much.

it feels like Jesus, my Lord....He addressed me by Himself....dis morning when I was damn tense... PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!Amen!

The whole chapter is telling all man 2 exercise real love within ourselves as Jesus proclaim it when He is on earth

It is inexplicable, non sensical act. The love that leaves one absolutely in owe. Never understanding and going beyond any natural senses. The one love that cannot be exceeded by any other for there is no other.

first of all I thank Jesus for his word and the Holy Ghost for revealing thru the preaching of the gospel thru his preachers the revelations of what he is saying to the church,the body of Christ.Jesus tells us that he is the true vine,there must be a doctrine that is not true and his Father is the husbandman,that Holy Spirit that backs up the Word.He goes on to say that we,the born again believer can't do anything without him.We are redeemed to bear more fruit by allowing him to work in us thru his Spirit.I love what he says when he said,I call you friend and as a friend I tell you everything my Father tells me.Not only did he choose us but he also ordained us to bear fruit.Jesus died for the sins of the whole world but we must tell them and show them this Light that shimes in us is the Lord Jesus Christ

I hope I can help out alittle here. The only thing in the bible that speaks of predestnation is the predestioned existance of his church. U see, if we were all prdestined to be saved that would make everything said and done, also make us robots, also make calvery of non effect! their would be no reason for the the blood, he would have just been going through the motions and we know he wouldnt have done that. No one is predestioned to be saved or lost we make that choice, he does the redeeming. If were lost and see hell, it's because we acually did that by our own actions and willful disregard and sinful condition. Thats why we need calvery, thats why the blood still works because we r not predestioned.
