Did you ever see fruit produced from a disconnected branch? What do you say about the very words of Jesus?We are the "branches" and branches can do nothing of themselves.
Its the ROOT that produces both the branches and the fruit.
Did you ever see a Rose Bud producing the Flower?
Did you ever see a tree branch producing the Tree?
Did you ever seen a confused Christian trying to produce their own works (fruit) and confess sin trying to stay saved?.......= Yes you did.
So, when we hear someone saying........"well, as long as the branches are doing their job".... "as long as they are abiding by self effort"..
= But what they dont understand, is that its the Root that produces the fruit through the branches......its not the branches trying to endure to the end and keep commandments that bears the fruit.
The Branch is nothing more then the vessel that is used by the Root to produce fruit through it.
The False teaching is that the Branch is responsible, and in fact its the Root that is responsible for the fruit, and not the branch.
See any Flower or Tree for the update on what is producing the fruit through what.... reader.
Jesus said........"apart from me you can do nothing".........and Jesus is The ROOT who is explaining to you that when you the branch tries to do for yourself what only God's Spirit can do through you, then you are cutting yourself off from the ROOT and you'll produce nothing but self righteousness.
Jn 15:4-7
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
