Notes

True disciples will experience a transformed, fruit-bearing life because they live in a relationship of love with both Jesus and the Father (15:9–10).

Jesus prepared his disciples for his departure, instructing them to remain in close fellowship with him. The image of a grapevine illustrates both intimacy and fruitfulness. To sustain genuine spiritual life in the world, believers must remain intimately connected to Christ.
