«Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.» 2 Corinthians 5:17
Do you remember the vine and its branches? Who is the vine? Jesus. Who are the branches? You and me. What happens if a branch is torn from the trunk? It withers, doesn’t it? In the trunk is the sap, that carries nourishment to each branch to keep it alive.
Just like a branch, you also need to stay connected with Jesus every day to receive the nourishment and strength that He gives.
Just as the branches connected to the trunk produce sweet and delicious grapes, when we are always with Jesus, we will produce the fruit of the Spirit. You will learn more about that soon.
People who are disconnected from Jesus are like dry, lifeless vine branches. People who are connected to Jesus are different from dry branches; they are like new, alive, joyful, patient, kind and loving creatures.
Let’s practice!
Repeat the verse: “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
