Have you ever wondered if people can tell that you are a follower of Jesus just by observing your life? In John 15:1-8, Jesus declares, 'I am the true vine,' a statement that underscores His role as the only way to God. As branches, we are called to abide in Him, allowing His life to flow through us and produce fruit. This fruit, which includes good works and godly character, makes it evident to others that we follow Jesus. God prunes us through His Word and life's challenges, removing dead or dying parts of our lives to make us more fruitful. Abiding in Jesus not only changes our prayers but also proves our faith, bringing glory to God and drawing others to Him. This week, reflect on your life and ask yourself: Is it obvious to others that I know and follow Jesus? Focus on abiding in Christ, spending time in His Word, seeking His guidance in prayer, and being open to His pruning.
