Remember if it’s the true gospel of grace IT WILL ALWYS LIFT YOU UP!

Let’s look at familiar verses religion has hammered people with. God casting away-not and never! God purging, pruning and cutting away-no, no, and never!

John 15 “1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 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. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.”

1) Father is the husbandman. He does the work. Remember we are His workmanship, created unto Christ Jesus for good works, which Father hath determined that we should walk in them Eph 2:10, 2 Cor 3:18

2)Taketh away-“ah’ee-ro” which means; 1. to raise up, elevate, lift up. a. to raise from the ground. Remember He raises us up with Him and seats us with Him in heavenly places in Christ Jesus! Eph 2:6

3) Purgeth-“kath-ah’ee-ro” which means; 1. to cleanse, of filth impurity. During this time water was poured over vines and fruit to rid them of dust, dirt and insects. They were raised up into the sunlight. Remember 1 John 1:7 If we are in the light, Jesus blood continually cleanses is from sin!

4) Clean v3-see “kath-ah’ee-ro” Purgeth And clean same word. We are already clean!

So don’t listen to messages that beat and berate you. The gospel of grace will always lift you up! I love you all very much! (NLM)
