This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that GOD is LIGHT, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the Truth.  If we walk in the LIGHT, as He is in the LIGHT, we have fellowship one with another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the Truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  1 John 1:5-9 (KJV)

Believe - John 3:16-21

For GOD so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. GOD sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believes on Him is not condemned, but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of GOD. And this is the condemnation, that LIGHT is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than LIGHT, because their deeds were evil.  Everyone that do evil hates the light, neither come to the LIGHT, lest his deeds should be reproved. He that does truth comes to the LIGHT, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in GOD.  John 3:16-21 (KJV)

John chapter 15

I am the True Vine, and my Father is the Husbandman. Every branch in me that bear not fruit He takes away; and every branch that bear fruit, He purges 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 abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.  If a man abides 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. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you; continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

Henceforth I call you not servants, for the servant knows not what his lord does, but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my Name, He may give it you. These things I command you, that ye love one another. John 15:1-17 (KJV)

Note:  Read and study the entire chapter of John 15.  Yahshua stated that a tree is known by its fruit (Matthew 12:33) abide in Yahshua, diligently read and study the Holy Word; and bring forth good fruit.  Also, read and study what John the Immerser said regarding bad fruit in Matthew 3:10.

Cultivation of Bad or Good Fruit?

Paul, an Apostle of Yahshua Speaks to the Galatians

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these:

•  Adultery 
• fornication 
• uncleanness 
• lasciviousness 
• idolatry 
• witchcraft 
• hatred
• variance 
• emulations 
• wrath 
• strife
• seditions 
• heresies 
• envying 
• murders 
• drunkenness 
• reviling

and such like, of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of GOD.

 

The fruit of the Spirit is:

• love
• joy 
• peace 
• longsuffering 
• gentleness 
• goodness 
• faith
•  meekness 
• temperance 

against such there is no law.  They that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.   Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.  Galatians 5:19-26 (KJV)

 

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.   Matthew 26:41 (KJV)

He spoke a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint. Saying, there was in a city a judge, who feared not GOD, neither regarded man. There was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, avenge me of mine adversary; and he would not for a while, afterward he said within himself, though I fear not GOD, nor regard man, yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. The Lord said, hear what the unjust judge said?

 Shall not GOD avenge His elect, which cry day and night unto Him, though he bear long with them?  I tell you that He will avenge them speedily.  Nevertheless when the Son of man comes, shall he find faith on the earth? Luke 18:1-8 (KJV)
