Branch in Jesus Vine

I am the true vine and my Farther is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he trims clean so that it will be even more fruitful. John 15:1-2

Are we living in Jesus Christ like a branch is living in a vine? We who have been baptized in the name of the Farther, the Son and the Holy Spirit, are we friends of Jesus, do we know Him like we know our best friend, is Jesus our best friend? Are we bearing fruit, the fruit that will last? How this is possible to bear fruit and live like Jesus lived among us? We can come to Jesus, who lives in his Words, because He is the Word, who has been from the beginning, and He will forgive us all our sins and He will give us the Holy Spirit who is in Jesus' Words in the Holy Bible. Without Jesus we can do nothing but the Holy Sprit will bring fruits as love, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Jesus puts the Holy Spirit in our heart and remove from us our heart of stone and we will follow Jesus. Everyday day we need to be near Jesus and need His forgiveness, we who have our old sinful nature in us but also our new nature Holy Spirit, and these two natures are against each other so that even though we want to do good and live like Jesus we cannot, we do need Jesus to help us and live in us. This is a mystery how our God can live in us but how a wonderful mystery!
