🍇 Six Types of Faith in the Vineyard:  Which One Are You?

1. Those who belong to God but do not bear fruit (John 15:2)

You can keep the Sabbath, do God's work, and give tithes, but you choose not to do them. These believers will be "taken away".

2. Those who bear fruit but can bear more (John 15:2b)

You only bear fruit just enough for your self-satisfaction but not enough to please God, as He believes you can bear more. Such believers will be pruned by God.

3. Those who bear more fruit (John 15:2b)

With patience, you are willing to go through the painful process of pruning so that you may yield more fruits.

4. Those who are 'not able' to bear fruit (John 15:5)

You desire to love God and serve Him, but you are unable to because:

• You do not abide in the Lord (John 15:4).
• The cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches have choked your faith (Matthew 13:22).

5. Those who bear much fruit (John 15:5)

Your faith is mature, and your spiritual life is abundant. Naturally, you love the Lord and serve Him.

6. Those who bear much fruit and their fruit remains (John 5:16) 

Not only do you bear much fruit, but you continue to remain fruitful until today. This is the Lord's expectation of us.
