God’s Part in Fruitfulness

If you are a Christian, the purpose of your life is to produce "spiritual fruit." And in the parable of the vine and the branches we have a promise that if we abide in Christ we will bear much fruit. So how does it happen? What is the role that God the Father plays to ensure our fruitfulness?

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.”

- John 15:1-3
