"JESUS SAID: Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing" (John 15:4). Jesus, the Apostle John, the Apostle Paul and all of the writers of the New Testament put this in an unassailable first place in discipleship teaching (Whether they used the same words for it or not). After almost two thousand years since Jesus said it, most churches give it scant lip service and wonder why there is little fruit. Most Christians living religious lives are frustrated because they cannot produce the fruit they know should be there. The secret of Godly fruit bearing is, as the Apostle Paul says, living in the Spirit (i.e., abiding in Christ). This book stands alongside all the traditional forms of disciple-making, emitting power to bring forth fruit that abides. A simple truth too often glossed over, but when it becomes part of a believer's life, it shakes the stress out of fulfilling the commands of Jesus and gives the peace He said it would.
