Life on the Vine
What sets you apart as a woman of God? It isn’t the cross necklace you wear, or your car parked at the church on Sunday morning. Jesus said you can tell everything about a person by their fruit, or how they are living on the outside, what they worship and adore on the inside. For those of us who identify as Christ followers, we manifest characteristics rooted in our relationship with Jesus. When we are close, clinging, or abiding in him, we produce love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control – or as the apostle Paul calls them, the fruit of the Spirit. Grow your personal faith in the rich soil of God’s word, nurture your dependence on Jesus, and flourish in the fullness of the Spirit as you explore Life on the Vine.
