Things That Help Us “Abide” in Jesus

John 15

Once Saved Always Saved

• Is a false doctrine.• However, once we are saved,

we CAN and should remain saved

• Jesus shows us how to “abide” in Him

Things that Help Us

• Jesus calls our attention to:• My Father – the vinedresser –

v.1,8,10• My words –v.7• My love – v.9• My commandments –v.10,12• My Joy – v.11• My disciples – v.8• My friends – v.14

Dead Limb or Living Branch?

• Dead Limbs stop drawing life from the vine

• Living branches connect and refuse to disconnect
