Christ as the True Vine

I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; a part from me you can do nothing. —John 15:5

God wants us to bear fruit, in the form of love and kindness to others. He gives us Christ to be in us, so that we develop into the holy and fruit-bearing creatures He desires for us. Christ too, has expectations, as the Son serving the Father; He desires each of us to bear fruit, indeed, but wants each of us to do so by intimately connecting with Him, in love, in truth, with a full heart.
