Let me sing for my beloved my love song concerning his vineyard: My beloved had a
vineyard on a very fertile hill. He dug it and cleared it of stones, and planted it
with choice vines; he built a watchtower in the midst of it, and hewed out a wine vat in it; and he looked for it to yield grapes…
The vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel

You have the life of God in you, and you reproduce his life in your actions, particularly
as you mix with other people.

How to be a fruitful Christian?
Abide in JesusAbide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can
you, unless you abide in me.Verse 4
If a person remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
