"Apart From Me You Can Do Nothing" (John, 15:5).We can not produce spiritual fruit while separate from Jesus
In John, 15:1-6, Jesus said that those who become separated from Him, can do nothing. That is not to say of course that we can do absolutely nothing, it does mean however, that when we decide to separate ourselves from Him, we are then unable to produce the good spiritual fruit of the Holy Spirit.
"But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!" (Galatians, 5:22-23).
Many believe that the passage of scripture in John chapter 15, is speaking only of winning souls for God's kingdom. And, while that may be one of the many good results of abiding or remaining in Jesus, vs: 4, the actual fruit or evidence of our salvation is found in our continued, loyal service to Him alone, and His teaching.
Jesus said; "I chose you to GO and bear much fruit for Me" (John, 15:16).
