Staying the Course

As a Christian believer, I must live in unity with GOD and community with others:

• Jesus Christ is the true vine
• GOD the Father is the gardener
• Your name is the branch

As a Christian believer, I must bear fruit:

• GOD the Father prunes the believer to produce more fruit
• To bear fruit, the believer must abide in the Son

As a Christian believer, I must remain faithful and glorify the Father:

• Reaps a bountiful harvest 
• The father is glorified forever
