John 15:16a “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit…” Do you enjoy the comfort provided by being faithful to your Savior? Why is it that you live confidently knowing your eternity will be spent in Heaven? Have you been chosen for the purpose of being a representative of your Heavenly Father and telling others about Him for both their joy on this earth and their eternity in Heaven? The answers are in this passage. Enjoy!

John 15:9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.” It is impossible for the Father to be separated from the Son. We see a little of that relationship on this earth when there is a very close relationship between loving parents and loving children. With Jesus and you and me that love is the ultimate. How can we do anything other enjoy that devotion?

There is nothing better than to be Jesus’ disciple. You will not hear that truth on any newscast or in any Forbes celebrity or popularity column. Celebrity status has zero to do with the honor of being our Savior’s disciple. We live for Him—not for ourselves.

John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” Live life successfully. There is only one way to do that–not multiple ways. Jesus wants to be perfectly clear—without me you can do nothing. You and I must have a close relationship with Him or our lives are valueless. That is an extremely bold truth. Studying His Word, following Him and living life as our Savior says is the most treasured life one can live.
