Colossians 2:6-7 says, "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lordd, so walk ye in him;  Rooted and built up in Him, and established in the faith, as ye have taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

He is the Vine, and we are the branches!  If we do not abide in Him, our Christian testimonies wither and die spiritually.  As a tree depends upon its roots for water, even so should depend upon Christ fo feed us through His word.  He is our Vine to give us spiritual water through the Word of God.

Sorry , but I cut myself off. Just a small favor to ask , where the root and branches are in Col 2: 6-7. I can see that we are to be rooted in the faith v7 . Can you tell me where you are getting the branches, in Matt ?

Hello Dan P,

I think one of the best descriptive portions of Scripture is:

John 15:1-8  I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth 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 abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide 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.

Love In Christ,
Tom
