Fruit of the vine

Gen.12:2-3 I will make of thee a great nation (goy/ not a political system), and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Gen.17:5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
Gal.3:24-29 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Matt.3:7b-10 who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come. Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Rom.2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. (Rev.2:9)
Rom.3:29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: (Rev.3:9)
Ps.138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
Pro.16:7,9 When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.
Rom.8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Ex.23:22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
Jn.15:1-6 I am the true vine, and my Father (praise His name) is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Jn.15:14-16 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
------------------------------------------------------------
Relation to:
THE 1ST MIRACLE OF YESHUA (Jesus)
Looking back to John 15 we learned much about bearing fruits of The Vine.
Jn.15:3 said "Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you." This isnt the only place we see The Word in relation to cleansing.
In Eph.5 we see the relationship Christ has with his church is liked unto that of a husband and wife (Gen.2:24). Then we are given the symbol of water as like unto the cleasining by the Word.
Eph.5:25-26 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might *sanctify and *cleanse it with the *washing of *water by the *word, (Jn. 3)
The first miracle of Yeshua took place at a wedding!
And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it (Jn.14:15/ 1 Jn.5:3). And there were set there six waterpots of stone (stone- Matt.3:9/ Father is potter we are the clay Is.64:8), after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
Men recieved The Word from Messiah & did all he told them to, which was to pour "Water" (The cleasning Word) into vessels (again man is liked unto vessels Is.64:8/ Ecc.12:6-7) and when the vessels received the water (cleansing Word) then the vessels brought forth fruit of THE VINE (Mashiach)., God gives the increase. (1 Cor.3:6/ Is.55:11). The message of the first miracle of Yeshua is the same message he gave to his Apostels prior to his ascension (Matt.28:18-20). (1 Jn.5)
------------------------

___Matt.10:40-41__ He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward
(These verses are simpley speaking of the Authority which is Elohim (G-d) being the authority in which Messiah came. (Elohim-divine judgement and all instruments thereof). All those who share divine revelation do so in the authority of G-d.)
If G-d sends one forth with a message and you recieve that message you recieve of that divine authority (G-d). Messiah said he came not to do his own will but the will of the Father who sent him.
__Lk.10:16__ He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
When Christ said if you have seen me you have seen the Father he wasnt speaking about seeing his flesh (why cant muslims see past the flesh to understand spiritual truth) he cleary said he speaks of his works (which are Spirit, and again of the Father). This is also why he said
__Jn.10:37-38__ If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him./ and

___Jn.8:37-44__ I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
.... There remains a remnant that is in covenant with G-d that is echad (one) with the Father. Of them Christ says
__Jn.17:11__ And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. /vs.17-19___ Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth./vs.21__ That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me./vs.23__ I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
__Gal.3:28__ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
__1 Jn.4:20-21__ If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.In Exodus (7:1) we are told that Moses was made a god (Elohim)unto Pharaoh. Then we are told that Israel murmors against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness only for YHVH to later say they dont murmor against you they murmor against me (Cause he sent them forth and it was His Word they spoke and His will they did Ex.16). To ignore the authority that these people come in is to ignore G-d, which is what muhammad did by remixing the message and creating a new religion. He not only ignored the prophetS he blasphemed the Almighty Living G-d.

Spiritual Discernment

Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing. Deut.7:26

Those with a personal relationship with YHVH are given the gift of discernment.

__ _________
Spiritual discernment is valid in order to grow spiritually. We are to be known by our fruits (actions) and what is in ones heart comes out in their actions. Judgement and Discernment are two different things. One can forgive another for his actions yet this doesn't mean he must surround himself with those people (Mk.6:11/ Proverbs 16:17/ Rom.12:9/ Ps.34:14/ Proverbs 20:3,19/..). None of us are qualified to condemn another as to say another has no hope of salvation, and such would put you in danger of hell fire (Matthew 5:22)! Christians remain concerned for all and hope all grow closer to God.

Christians are given the ability to recognize the Holy Spirit in others just as God's people can recognize rebelious hearts Gal.5:19-26 (fruits). 2 Cor.6:14 / Matt.6:24/ By their fruits you shall know them. Each person has the right to decide who they fellowship with.

2nd Epistle of John 10&11-If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed.For he that biddeth him God speed is a partaker of his evil deeds.(Enabling/ company)

It is also good to know what to cover and what not to cover concerning who you are sharing with. The Gospel is to be shared with all nations (tanslation is needed).
Fruitful fellowship: When sharing we should look for interest and if we cant share out of concern then we shouldn't be sharing. The heart knower is no respector of persons. Therefore take notice of others fruits for they are reflective of ones heart.

Got Fruit?



Spirit & Works go together when one is in an ongoing relationship with YHVH.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Christianity is more than a theology. Jas.1:22,(23) But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. Heb.10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Gal.5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Matt.5:14-15 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house (Luke 11:33) Jas.2:20 (17) But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.(Titus 2:7,14 / Titus 3:8,14) Matt.5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven
____We are to be known by our fruits___
Matt.3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
Matt.7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Matt.3:10/ Luke 3:9
Matt.7:20 - Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. (Matthew 12:33)
2 Cor. 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Yahshua (Yeshua) speaking- John 15
___________________________John 15:1-8 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself , except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
(purge here is to say- to cleanse, of filth impurity, etc- to prune trees and vines from useless shoots / metaphoric for that which stunts spiritual growth)
Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.
___Be of the vine___
Luke 6:44
For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. (Acts 2)
James 3:12
Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
Colossians 1:10
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
*Reason we were created- Rev.4:11
God likes can do people who Show him love.________________
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
(Note:Entering into the LORD's day) (Matt.8:11-12/ Lk.13:28/ Matt.21:43/ Matt.13:42/ Matt.24:30,51/ Deut.30:15-18)

________________________John 15:9-23:
As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
(Christians are concerned for others. This should show in all relations with others. For love is the greatest virtue and is to be used with all Christian tactics, Many fail to understand how love is used in rebuke, and discernment.)
Psalm 73:28
But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

Jas.3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom

Rom.8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Heb.10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Heb.5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

Eph.2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God

Yeshua did his part (Provided THE Atonement that allows Grace to be open to us/ 1 Cor.5:6-8/ Jn.3:16/ Heb.2:14/ Rom.5:1-11/1 Jn.2:1..)
Acts 2:34-38 After the people believed In The sacrifice of Mashiach they asked (the Apostels) "what shall we do"
vs36-38 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

We are called to action. We areNT saved by Our works however we are required to embrace The Authority of YHVH in His blueprint for salvation as early as Genisis 3:22 immediately following the introduction of sin. This is the beginning of our part in the relationship.

Yochanan the baptist had a ministry of "Repent" Matt 3:2 /Lk.3:8
Yeshua had a ministry of Repent Matt 4:17
Its always been about a (ongoing) relationship. And i think we all know relationships take two (working together). Our work is to embrace the works of YHVH in Yeshua (Repent, Be baptised, & Endure). The strength and nature to do this again is found in YHVH.
Heb.12:1-2 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. (right hand -power and works Is.48:13/ Heb.1:3/...)(2 Cor.12:9-10)
vs.3-4
For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin

Jas.1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves

Faith without works is dead Jas.2:14,17 and "perfect faith" is Faith that bares fruit Jas 2:22/ Heb.6 (also recall the parable of the soils)
Show me your faith and i will see your works and vise versa
We are justified by faith in the works of Yeshua Rom.5:1,2,9,11 (Gal.2:20-21)

Deut 6:4-5 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Notice here might shows action. We know that faith without works is dead! (Jas.2) /
Those who are familure with the bat stone should look at the Root (#181 Heb.) of the word translated might (#3966 Heb.)! The LORD takes into account Spirit and works to determine who his people are!
