By the Word of Wisdom, Paul testified to the church in Corinth, that those who are called, to them Christ will be seen as the Power and the Wisdom of God. And if we are called, we will not only recognize Him as the Power and Wisdom of God, but shall see Him as the only Way, Who leads us by HIS Truth to Life.
To all the disciples who are called, the Word said of Himself, "I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 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" (John 15:1-6). From the Word of the LORD, we understand through the concept of faith, by the symbols presented, that we must be in Him, or connected to Him that HE might bear HIS Fruit of Life through us. We must abide in Him and He in us, for we cannot bear HIS Fruit of ourselves. Without Him, we can do nothing, for HIS Fruit in us is the Life of man. By receiving the Word given to us by the Father, we are cleansed, that HE might abide with us. In bearing the Fruit of the Vine, Peter said to the church, "Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but ofincorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever" (1 Peter 1:22, 23). In explaining the parable to the people before Him, the Word of Wisdom said, "...The seed is the word of God" (Luke 8:11). |
