THE TRUE VINE

ANDREW MURRAY

 

Bearing much fruit is not a demand but a promise and result of abiding in Christ.

Fruit is not a result of the branch’s effort; it is the responsibility of the vine. That is one reason Christ used the grapevine as a picture of the Christian’s relationship to Him. Andrew Murray looks closely at this classic work, exploring it in 31 gripping chapters.

From the vine we can learn to:

* depend absolutely and confidently upon the Vinedresser, the Father

* have the same nature as -the vine

* avoid withering

* benefit from the vine’s blessing for fruit bearing

* have intimacy with the vine

* abide in the vine
