Christians who have been cleansed from sin and pride can bear good fruit for God. Jesus Christ said, “Abide in me, and I in you.” Abiding in Christ means loving him, obeying him, praying to him. In other words, abiding in Christ means being connected and in constant spiritual communion with him, just as a branch is connected to the vine. If we are thus connected to Christ, we will be living branches. And just as the sap of the vine flows through the branches and gives them life, so the Spirit of Christ flows through us, giving us spiritual life. To bear fruit, we must abide in Christ. If we do not abide in Christ, we will bear no fruit. Rather, we will wither and die.
