We have a reminder of the function of a vine and its branches in the natural realm and then we have the principle of perception, metabolization, and application in the spiritual realm.
”take away” = if a believer fails to execute the spiritual life and bears no fruit from God, then our Lord says that the only way you can do this is by bearing the fruit of many.
JOH 15:2 “Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away or disciplines just as a father does the same a recognition ; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it, that it may bear more fruit.
Merely a professing but not a genuine believer,
Those who lose their salvation.
The unfruitful believers experience divine discipline but are still saved.
JOH 15:2 “Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away;
“takes away” = the present active indicative of the Greek verb airo which means that He lifts up; He takes away; He removes by raising us up, or by carrying the burden away.
Airo connotes the truth that sets us free by removing any hedge that is on our way.
This principle is found in a few averages that are about to rain on us.
The words “take away” is a mistranslation, it is the Greek word eiro which can mean to take away or remove, but it also means to lift up.
In Israel, the lower branches on the vine that may be weak are propped up by rocks, so that by the elevation they are strengthened and then produce fruit.
Doctrinal and Educational advice = learn as much as you could about history and the importance of the English language as well as to find a church that teaches the word of God.
Words are the substance of thought, and your words, and your thoughts make up your personality.
Without words, we cannot think.
With the wrong words, we cannot express ourselves as we want to at times.
Words have significance and meaning.
Negative thinking produces negative thoughts that express negative words.
PRO 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
JOH 6:63 “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
There are many believers who are involved with pessimism, which is the tendency to take the most unfavorable view of situations, or to expect the worst outcome in any circumstances.
The positive believer has the tendency or habit of seeing and expecting the good in things; looking on the bright side; anticipating favorable results; hopefulness.
They perceived the positive work of God the Father in PHI 1:6.
Phi 1:20 “On the basis of my intense concentration and confident expectation [a personal sense of destiny]
that I shall not be put to shame in anything, but with all confidence, Christ shall even now [in time] as always [in eternity] be glorified in my body, whether by life or by death.”
PHI 2:3 Do nothing motivated by contentiousness or ambitious pride, but with humility of mind [by means of grace orientation] let each of you keep on considering one another as more important than himself;
PHI 2:4 do not merely be regarding your own personal interests, but also for the personal interests of others.
