SUMMARY OF JOHN 15:5-8
Apart from Jesus, you can do nothing. If you remain in Jesus and his words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. You will bear much fruit for God’s glory.

6) You must remain in Jesus and his words remain in you. He meant you must remain connected to Jesus and abide in him in order to bear fruit/lead a productive, fulfilling life.
7) I would say no, not really. It’s not a fulfilling life and it’s not all that they could have done with Christ. And, it could be fruitful for others, but I think for them they will always be missing something.
8 ) I would say in all areas. I do believe I could bear more fruit in helping others.
9) It means just that: ask for what you want, and, if it’s in line with God’s will for your life, it will be granted. God gives us our desires because it reflects God’s desires for our lives
Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 20, Day 3: John 15:5-8
Great passage on bearing fruit. We must remember that it’s about doing God’s will for His kingdom, so His fruit is most likely different than ours.
End Notes BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 20, Day 3: John 15:5-8
If you abide in Christ, you will bear fruit. Period.
Without Jesus, we can do nothing of real, eternal value.
Without abiding in Jesus, your life fails. You are not a true disciple unless you abide.
By abiding to Jesus’ word and prayer, we remain connected to Jesus. As such, we should expect answers to prayers. If not, there there is a disconnect somewhere.
When you bear fruit, you bring God glory.
