God has a divine heart of cultivating a fruitful harvest. Jesus uses an analogy in John 15 that His Father is the vinedresser, He is the true vine, and we have the choice to be a branch attached to this true vine or one on our own.

The security and care that is provided for those who choose to abide and rest in the presence and work of Jesus gives eternal hope and an ability to produce good fruit for the vinedresser. But those who do not belong to the Jesus are cast out when fruit is not produced.

As those who have entrusted our lives to abide and rest in the work of Christ, it is our responsibility to obey Jesus as sustainer of our life, to produce good fruit in response to His great love for us, and testify to others the joy and security that comes from being in Him.
