So how did we come to be accepted by God? We heard about what Jesus did for us, that He died, was buried, and rose again to pay for our sins. We learned He took our place on the cross and became sin for us 2 Corinthians 5:21 so we could live. One day we did the only thing we could to be accepted, we believed in Jesus. As a result the Father graciously saved us and accepted us. - Ephesians 2:4-7.

Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. This simple yet powerful image so aptly describes the nature of the Christian life. Fruitfulness is the result of remaining connected to Jesus. When we face trials, we are called to see in them the love, pruning of the gardener, preparing us for greater fruitfulness. Download songs and hymns that speak about the theme of Jesus as the vine.
